We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

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

How we handle bath resealing in Kilbarchan

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are missing sealant behind the taps and silicone smeared on tiles.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What affects the price in Kilbarchan

There is no charge for travel to Kilbarchan. The price comes down to:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

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

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kilbarchan

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.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What we’re called out for in Kilbarchan

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Mould you cannot clean out

Comparing quotes

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Our hiring checklist

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
