Bath Resealing for Walkerburn homes
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone in Walkerburn, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Gaps by the taps
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Bath resealing in Walkerburn without replacing anything
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and people most frequently call us about silicone coming away from the tiles and water getting behind the bath or tray.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Resealing in Walkerburn: why it matters
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- A fixed quote before booking
- Most jobs done in one visit
Read our prices page.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Use the extractor fan
- Let steam out after showers
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Walkerburn: your questions answered
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Do you come to Walkerburn?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Walkerburn. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Landlord and trade work in Walkerburn
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in the Scottish Borders and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Do you need bath resealing in Walkerburn?
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- An untidy old seal
- Gaps in the seal
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Leaks at the edges
Before booking anyone
- What aftercare is recommended
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What protection goes down before work starts
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Hollow or loose tiles
- A flexing bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
