Landlord and trade work in Douglas Water
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Hollow or loose tiles
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Signs you need bath resealing in Douglas Water
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
The things clients typically mention when they call include:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Damp near the bath
Questions to ask before you book
- What prep work is covered
- If travel is included in the price
- How soon you can use it again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We ensure 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, taps included.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Why it’s worth resealing in Douglas Water

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas

- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Douglas Water questions
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across South Lanarkshire.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is there a call-out fee?

Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
