Bath resealing in Firrhill, 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, in a neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s sealant that’s split or lifting and missing sealant behind the taps, we can help, on baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Let steam out after showers
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
Repairs by material
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Resealing in Firrhill: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
