Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
About our bath resealing in Balloch
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We’re frequently asked to fix old sealant that looks dirty and black spots in the silicone, across baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Balloch as everywhere else we work.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Air the room after use
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Common questions in Balloch
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How much does bath resealing cost in Balloch?
Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Common problems we fix in Balloch
In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- An untidy old seal

- Discoloured, yellow sealant
Before you book anyone
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the room is protected while they work
- How the colour is matched
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks

Resealing in Balloch: why it matters
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
