Bath resealing in Blochairn, done in place
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths, and people most frequently call us about an untidy old seal and old sealant that looks dirty.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Blochairn
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units

Blochairn: your questions answered
How long will it take?
Usually a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

How we price bath resealing
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the area is dry
