Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Swinton, Scottish Borders
We travel to Swinton for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Gaps in the seal
- Unsealed corners
- A messy previous reseal
How we handle bath resealing in Swinton
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. We’re often asked to fix gaps in the seal and discoloured, yellow sealant, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What a repair can’t fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Swinton: your questions answered
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across the Scottish Borders.
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Swinton?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Resealing in Swinton: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Repairs by material
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Do you need bath resealing in Swinton?
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- A messy previous reseal
- Black mould in the sealant
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
Questions to ask before you book
- How to look after the finish
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How soon you can use it again
What affects the price in Swinton
We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Swinton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TD11 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
