How we handle bath resealing in Kilcreggan
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include gaps in the seal and water getting behind the bath or tray, on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
When we would advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A flexing bath
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim

Other services in Kilcreggan
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Air the room after use
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Kilcreggan questions
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How much does bath resealing cost in Kilcreggan?
We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your G84 postcode.
Are there extra charges for Kilcreggan?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How we price bath resealing
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Kilcreggan. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
