- Black mould in the sealant
How we handle bath resealing in Templand
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Typical jobs include missing sealant behind the taps and discoloured, yellow sealant, across basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

What else we do in Templand
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Let steam out after showers
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, 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’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A flexing bath
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
How we price bath resealing
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DG11 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Templand as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
When to call us in Templand
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Gaps by the taps
- Old sealant that looks dirty
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the colour is matched
- How changes to the job are handled
- If travel is included in the price
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Questions from Templand
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you come to Templand?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Templand and the rest of Dumfries and Galloway. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
