Trusted bath resealing in Hillhead

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep the joints dry

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Bath resealing in Hillhead, done in place

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. If you’re dealing with sealant that’s split or lifting and black spots in the silicone, we can usually put it right, on baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

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 tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

When to call us in Hillhead

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Black mould in the sealant

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

How we price bath resealing

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Hillhead. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Your questions about bath resealing in Hillhead

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
