How we handle bath resealing in Carstairs
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We are often asked to fix discoloured, yellow sealant and silicone smeared on tiles, across wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

How we price bath resealing
We do not charge extra for travel to Carstairs. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Carstairs: your questions answered
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you cover the entire of South Lanarkshire?
Across the UK, and that includes Carstairs. Prices don’t change with location.
Landlord and trade work in Carstairs
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.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Why reseal now?
Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Air the room after use

- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep bottles off the joints
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
