Bath resealing in Lightburn, done in place
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Whether it’s gaps in the seal and stained silicone, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
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 happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes around two hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your G32 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Open a window after bathing
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.
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.
When to call us in Lightburn
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Gaps by the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- What aftercare is recommended
- When it can be used again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A flexing bath
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Your questions about bath resealing in Lightburn
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
What areas do you cover?
All of Glasgow, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
