Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Covington, South Lanarkshire
Bath resealing across Covington and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Black mould in the sealant
- Gaps by the taps
- Gaps in the seal
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep the joints dry
- Open a window after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Signs you need bath resealing in Covington
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Stained silicone
- Unsealed corners
- Leaks at the edges
- Sealant that is split or lifting
Before booking anyone
- How soon you can use it again

FAQs for Covington
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
How much does bath resealing cost in Covington?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes around two hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
