Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Howden, West Lothian
Local bath resealing for Howden: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Old sealant that looks dirty
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Open a window after bathing
- Give the seal a regular clean
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
How we handle bath resealing in Howden
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and people most frequently call us about gaps by the taps and leaks at the edges.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Howden questions
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Do you work in Howden?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Howden and the rest of West Lothian. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We’ll give you the curing time.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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 photos.
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, a professional repair is worth it.

- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Mould you can’t clean out

Resealing in Howden: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
