Bath resealing for Greenlees homes

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a couple of hours in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can

How we handle bath resealing in Greenlees

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you are dealing with unsealed corners and damp near the bath, we can help, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Greenlees

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across South Lanarkshire.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Air the room after use

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What we’re called out for in Greenlees

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

People usually call us after spotting something like this:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How soon you can use it again
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Our hiring checklist

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Same prices wherever you are

See our full price list.

What bath resealing costs

We do not charge extra for travel to Greenlees. The price comes down to:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
