Bath resealing at your home in Ardchattan
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 work on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are a messy previous reseal and gaps in the seal.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Ardchattan as everywhere else we work.

The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Do you need bath resealing in Ardchattan?
Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Clients typically contact us about:
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Gaps by the taps

When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

Ardchattan questions
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What else we do in Ardchattan
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. 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.
