How we handle bath resealing in Garelochhead
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. We’re frequently asked to fix black mould in the sealant and old sealant that looks dirty, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Garelochhead and across Argyll and Bute.

What bath resealing costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Something in shot to show the size
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
What we’re called out for in Garelochhead
In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Stained silicone
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- An untidy old seal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
Questions to ask before booking
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- When it can be used again
- What aftercare is recommended
Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep the joints dry
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Air the room after use
- Use the extractor fan
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
