Bath resealing in Linthouse without replacing anything
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths, and people most often call us about an untidy old seal and gaps in the seal.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Linthouse and across Glasgow.

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Let steam out after showers
- Keep the joints dry
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Prices and what affects them
We don’t charge extra for travel to Linthouse. The price depends on:
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Work for landlords and builders
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.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Signs you need bath resealing in Linthouse
In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Gaps in the seal
- A messy previous reseal
- Gaps by the taps
- Damp near the bath

When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Questions from Linthouse
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
You will get the curing time from us, typically around a day.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.

- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
