Bath resealing in Auldhouse

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a couple of hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

How we handle bath resealing in Auldhouse

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We regularly repair baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are silicone coming away from the tiles and missing sealant behind the taps.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Auldhouse and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Can I fix it myself?

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 usually cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

If you manage property in Auldhouse, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Let steam out after showers

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

What bath resealing costs

Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your G75 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Questions from Auldhouse

Do you work in Auldhouse?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Auldhouse and the rest of South Lanarkshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Typically because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can landlords book you?

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

When to call us in Auldhouse

Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Common reasons people in Auldhouse contact us are:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Our hiring checklist

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
