Bath resealing in Torphin without replacing anything
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. We are often asked to fix missing sealant behind the taps and mould you can’t clean out, across kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Movement in the bath or tray
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Resealing in Torphin: why it matters
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Common questions in Torphin
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Are there extra charges for Torphin?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
