Bath resealing in Keills, done in place
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are stained silicone and an untidy old seal.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Keills and across Argyll and Bute.

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, once the joint is completely dry.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Keills

What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Your questions about bath resealing in Keills
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.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Use the extractor fan
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Air the room after use
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
