Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
When to call us in Westruther
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, 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
- Gaps in the seal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Unsealed corners
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How changes to the job are handled
- What preparation is included
- How soon you can use it again
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Westruther as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep the joints dry
- Air the room after use
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Advice
Common questions in Westruther
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How long before I can shower?
You’ll get the curing time from us, typically around a day.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
