Birniehill questions
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Bath resealing at your home in Birniehill
We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. We work on baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are unsealed corners and black spots in the silicone.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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.
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Prices and what affects them
There’s no area surcharge for Birniehill. The price reflects:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in South Lanarkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Open a window after bathing
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Dry the seal after bathing
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
