How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Argyll and Bute and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
When to call us in Ceann Loch Gilb
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Gaps in the seal
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Water getting behind the bath or tray

How we price bath resealing
We don’t charge extra for travel to Ceann Loch Gilb. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
For a price in Ceann Loch Gilb, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Common questions in Ceann Loch Gilb
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
How long does resealing take?
Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
