Bath resealing at your home in Cathkin
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. Common call-outs are for a messy previous reseal and old sealant that looks dirty, on basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we’re called out for in Cathkin
Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Unsealed corners
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Black spots in the silicone
- Stained silicone

FAQs for Cathkin
How long does silicone take to cure?
We will give you the curing time, normally around a day.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Cathkin and the rest of South Lanarkshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Do you come to Cathkin?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Cathkin from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Cathkin
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Prices and what affects them
Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
If you are in Cathkin and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Open a window after bathing
- Use the extractor fan
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- A flexing bath
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Baths
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes around two hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- 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, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your G73 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
