Bath Resealing in Sprouston
Fixed-price bath resealing in Sprouston and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.

- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Unsealed corners
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
About our bath resealing in Sprouston
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths, and people most frequently call us about gaps in the seal and black mould in the sealant.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

What affects the price in Sprouston
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TD5 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for about two hours for a bath. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Use the extractor fan
- Let steam out after showers
- Keep bottles off the joints
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Why it’s worth resealing in Sprouston
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

FAQs for Sprouston
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you cover the entire of the Scottish Borders?
The entire UK, including all of the Scottish Borders. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Do you cover Sprouston?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Sprouston for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
