Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Birkenshaw, South Lanarkshire
Fixed-price bath resealing in Birkenshaw and the surrounding area, usually in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Damp near the bath
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- A messy previous reseal
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Bath resealing at your home in Birkenshaw
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are old sealant that looks dirty and silicone smeared on tiles.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Landlord and trade work in Birkenshaw
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
The process
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. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We ensure 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Open a window after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What a repair can’t fix

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Resealing in Birkenshaw: why it matters
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Why us?
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Work done at your home or business
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- A year’s guarantee on all work

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What affects the price in Birkenshaw
Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Common questions in Birkenshaw
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
