About our bath resealing in Leadhills
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Our technicians work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths, and the jobs we see most are a messy previous reseal and water getting behind the bath or tray.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Questions from Leadhills
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Leadhills.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
How long does silicone take to cure?
We’ll give you the curing time, typically around a day.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Leadhills
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.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep the joints dry
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Let steam out after showers
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Resealing in Leadhills: why it matters
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Leadhills. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for around two hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
