Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Croftfoot, Glasgow
Bath resealing in and around Croftfoot: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Black mould in the sealant
- Stained silicone
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
How we handle bath resealing in Croftfoot
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We’re often asked to fix gaps by the taps and sealant that’s split or lifting, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Landlord and trade work in Croftfoot
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For anyone letting property in or around Croftfoot, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Air the room after use
- Give the seal a regular clean
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
The process
When we visit, 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 clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
