How we handle bath resealing in Giffnock
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Typical jobs include gaps in the seal and water getting behind the bath or tray, across shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What affects the price in Giffnock
There’s no charge for travel to Giffnock. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Air the room after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Keep the joints dry
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Resealing in Giffnock: why it matters
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
When to call us in Giffnock
Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
People generally call us when they notice one of these:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Black mould in the sealant
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
Questions to ask before you book
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How the room is protected while they work
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
