Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Wilton, Scottish Borders
Our technicians come to Wilton for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Stained silicone
- Unsealed corners
What affects the price in Wilton
There is no charge for travel to Wilton. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Wilton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Bath resealing in Wilton, done in place
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. If you are dealing with leaks at the edges and mould you can’t clean out, we can help.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Common reasons people in Wilton contact us include:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Black mould in the sealant

What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Movement in the bath or tray
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
What else we do in Wilton
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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.
Wilton questions
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
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.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes around two hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
