How we handle bath resealing in Scotland Street
Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed using mould-resistant silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. We work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about silicone coming away from the tiles and stained silicone.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

FAQs for Scotland Street
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Signs you need bath resealing in Scotland Street
In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Leaks at the edges
- Stained silicone
What to look for in a quote
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How soon you can use it again
- What protection goes down before work starts
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
