When to call us in Cardonald
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Leaks at the edges
- An untidy old seal
- Unsealed corners

Bath resealing at your home in Cardonald
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We regularly repair wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are silicone coming away from the tiles and gaps by the taps.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep the joints dry
- Use the extractor fan
- Open a window after bathing
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Questions from Cardonald
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Hidden water damage
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Cardonald
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Why it’s worth resealing in Cardonald
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
