Bath resealing in Kilmacolm, done in place

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are old sealant that looks dirty and water getting behind the bath or tray.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Prices and what affects them

You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price 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 quote 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 helps:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Kilmacolm: your questions answered

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Inverclyde.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Kilmacolm?

Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Landlord and trade work in Kilmacolm

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Kilmacolm. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Signs you need bath resealing in Kilmacolm

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Leaks at the edges

Comparing quotes

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
