Bath Resealing for Bardowie homes
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone in Bardowie, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Stained silicone
- Gaps in the seal
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How we handle bath resealing in Bardowie
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about sealant that’s split or lifting and black spots in the silicone.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Dunbartonshire.

What else we do in Bardowie
Repairs by material
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Very wide gaps that need a trim

Your questions about bath resealing in Bardowie
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Bardowie?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across East Dunbartonshire.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Do you need bath resealing in Bardowie?
Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Gaps by the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Prices and what affects them
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
