What we cannot put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Baths
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Wet rooms
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

Bath resealing in Drumclog, done in place

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We work on wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are discoloured, yellow sealant and gaps in the seal.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How we price bath resealing

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically 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

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Drumclog questions

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Drumclog?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time, typically around a day.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across South Lanarkshire.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Open a window after bathing

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Signs you need bath resealing in Drumclog

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Damp near the bath
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
