When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Bath resealing in Gilshochill, done in place
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 are often asked to fix gaps by the taps and discoloured, yellow sealant, across kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What else we do in Gilshochill
Your questions about bath resealing in Gilshochill
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do you cover the entire of Glasgow?
Everywhere in the UK, Gilshochill included. Travel is included in the price.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Generally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do you need bath resealing in Gilshochill?
Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Black mould in the sealant
- Leaks at the edges
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How your room will be protected
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Let steam out after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- One price list for the whole UK

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Glasgow and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
