Bath resealing near East Kilbride

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

About our bath resealing in East Kilbride

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s black spots in the silicone and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Questions from East Kilbride

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Generally because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.

Do you come to East Kilbride?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to East Kilbride from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Resealing in East Kilbride: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Same prices wherever you are

Read our full price list.

What bath resealing costs

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in East Kilbride, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

When to call us in East Kilbride

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Mould you can’t clean out

Comparing quotes

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What prep work is covered
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in South Lanarkshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in East Kilbride as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
