Bath resealing in Whauphill without replacing anything
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We’re frequently asked to fix gaps in the seal and unsealed corners, across kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Resealing in Whauphill: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Whauphill: your questions answered
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.
Do you come to Whauphill?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Whauphill and the rest of Dumfries and Galloway. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
Landlord and trade work in Whauphill
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Common problems we fix in Whauphill
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Leaks at the edges
- Black spots in the silicone
- Old sealant that looks dirty

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Open a window after bathing
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Keep the joints dry
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
