Bath resealing in Sandhead, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you’re dealing with a messy previous reseal and unsealed corners, we can help.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What bath resealing costs
There’s no area surcharge for Sandhead. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DG9 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price

Questions from Sandhead
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you cover the entire of Dumfries and Galloway?
We cover the whole UK, including Sandhead and the rest of Dumfries and Galloway. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
How long does silicone take to cure?
We’ll give you the curing time.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Do you need bath resealing in Sandhead?
In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Black mould in the sealant
- A messy previous reseal
- Damp near the bath
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
What to look for in a quote
- If travel is included in the price
- How to care for the finish
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Open a window after bathing
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
