Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Bogston, Inverclyde
Local bath resealing for Bogston: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Leaks at the edges
- A messy previous reseal
- Black mould in the sealant
Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

About our bath resealing in Bogston
All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Common call-outs are for discoloured, yellow sealant and gaps by the taps, in basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Common questions in Bogston
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Bogston?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Letting agents often send us pictures 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.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Prices and what affects them
We charge the same across the UK, including Bogston. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Bogston, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Air the room after use
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Dry the seal after bathing
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
