Bath resealing at your home in Balloch
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. We are often asked to fix mould you can’t clean out and leaks at the edges, on baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- 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, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
How we price bath resealing
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Balloch. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote.

What else we do in Balloch
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Keep the joints dry
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Balloch: your questions answered
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Balloch?
Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How long before I can shower?
Normally after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Repairs by material
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Resealing in Balloch: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, 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.
