Resealing in Lochend: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What bath resealing costs
We do not charge extra for travel to Lochend. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Lochend
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Hidden water damage
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
How it works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Open a window after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
