- Hidden water damage
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
How we handle bath resealing in Kilmarnock
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We’re often asked to fix missing sealant behind the taps and a messy previous reseal, in wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available

What bath resealing costs
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Why it’s worth resealing in Kilmarnock
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Signs you need bath resealing in Kilmarnock
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Silicone smeared on tiles

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Questions from Kilmarnock
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across East Ayrshire.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
