Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Bath resealing at your home in Strichen
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. We work on baths, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are silicone coming away from the tiles and an untidy old seal.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Aberdeenshire.

The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

FAQs for Strichen
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

We cover the whole UK, including Strichen and the rest of Aberdeenshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Is resealing worth it?

For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How we price bath resealing
Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Strichen. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- What it’s made of, if you know
If you’re in Strichen and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
