Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Bath resealing in Southerness without replacing anything
All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. If you’re dealing with sealant that’s split or lifting and silicone smeared on tiles, we can help, on baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

About Southerness
Southerness is about 13 miles south of Dumfries, in Dumfries and Galloway. We agree a date that works for you, and you’ll know when to expect us, so you’re not left waiting in all day. We cover 138 places across Dumfries and Galloway, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Glasgow, about 73 miles away.
Here we cover the DG2 postcode area. From Sandy Lane, Sandy Lane West and Oswald Crescent or a nearby road, a technician can come to you. We also travel to New Abbey (7 miles north), Rockcliffe (8 miles west), Blitterlees (8 miles east), Silloth (8 miles east) and Greenrow (9 miles east).

For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Southerness, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Hidden water damage
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
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, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep the joints dry
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- 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. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
