Bath resealing at your home in Buchlyvie
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are sealant that’s split or lifting and mould you can’t clean out.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Common problems we fix in Buchlyvie
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
People usually call us when they notice something like this:
- Damp near the bath
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Stained silicone
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
Comparing quotes
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the room is protected while they work
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use the extractor fan
- Air the room after use
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Keep the joints dry
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What else we do in Buchlyvie
What affects the price in Buchlyvie
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes about two hours for a bath.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Buchlyvie, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Common questions in Buchlyvie
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Are there extra charges for Buchlyvie?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
How long before I can shower?
You will get the curing time from us, usually around a day.
Do you cover Buchlyvie?
We do. Technicians travel to Buchlyvie from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
