Bath Resealing in Falkirk
We travel to Falkirk for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Black spots in the silicone
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
Bath resealing at your home in Falkirk
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We regularly repair wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about stained silicone and an untidy old seal.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Falkirk and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we’re called out for in Falkirk
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.
Clients usually contact us about:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Black spots in the silicone
- Stained silicone
- Leaks at the edges
Questions to ask before you book
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How to look after the finish
- If travel is included in the price
Why reseal now?

What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit

- Make sure the area is dry

When a repair is not the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A flexing bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Let steam out after showers
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
