Bath resealing for Govanhill homes

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Bath resealing at your home in Govanhill

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Our repair technicians work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are water getting behind the bath or tray and silicone coming away from the tiles.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Glasgow.

How we price bath resealing

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Hidden water damage
  • A flexing bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Baths
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Wet rooms
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

Repairs by material

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Advice

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why Govanhill customers choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One visit for most repairs

FAQs for Govanhill

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your G42 postcode.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
