Bath resealing in Braehead without replacing anything
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Typical jobs include leaks at the edges and missing sealant behind the taps, across baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Braehead questions
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Why reseal now?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Advice
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Air the room after use
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Do you need bath resealing in Braehead?
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Stained silicone
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- A messy previous reseal
- Mould you cannot clean out
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long it needs to cure
What bath resealing costs
There is no charge for travel to Braehead. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
