How we handle bath resealing in Scottish Borders
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about stained silicone and mould you can’t clean out.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Scottish Borders as everywhere else we work.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Air the room after use
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
When to call us in Scottish Borders
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- A messy previous reseal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray

How we price bath resealing
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Why it’s worth resealing in Scottish Borders
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
What you get with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- We leave the room as we found it
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Questions from Scottish Borders
Do you work in Scottish Borders?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Scottish Borders. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Scottish Borders?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Scottish Borders included. Travel is included in the price.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
