How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Bath resealing at your home in Abington

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Our repair technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths, and people most frequently call us about sealant that’s split or lifting and discoloured, yellow sealant.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Abington questions

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across South Lanarkshire.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Abington

Rental properties take more wear, 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.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What bath resealing costs

You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your ML12 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Resealing in Abington: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Signs you need bath resealing in Abington

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Before you book anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What prep work is covered
