Bath Resealing in Kelvinhaugh
Bath resealing across Kelvinhaugh and nearby, usually in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Leaks at the edges
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Keep the joints dry
- Give the seal a regular clean
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
How we handle bath resealing in Kelvinhaugh
Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed using mould-resistant silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, plus curing time. We work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and people most frequently call us about stained silicone and black mould in the sealant.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Prices and what affects them
We don’t charge extra for travel to Kelvinhaugh. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your G3 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Glasgow and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Kelvinhaugh questions
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Kelvinhaugh included. Travel is included in the price.
How long does a reseal take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
