Bath resealing in Gartocharn without replacing anything
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Typical jobs include leaks at the edges and silicone smeared on tiles, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Common problems we fix in Gartocharn
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- A messy previous reseal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Sealant that is split or lifting
What to look for in a quote
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How your room will be protected
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Use the extractor fan
- Open a window after bathing
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Gartocharn questions
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of West Dunbartonshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Why book with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Generally one visit, start to finish

Landlord and trade work in Gartocharn
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
