Bath resealing near Milngavie

Bath resealing at your home in Milngavie

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We are often asked to fix sealant that’s split or lifting and water getting behind the bath or tray, across kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours, tidy-up included.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Milngavie

  • Basins & vanity units
  • Wet rooms
  • Baths
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Dry the seal after bathing

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’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Do you need bath resealing in Milngavie?

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Your questions about bath resealing in Milngavie

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time, generally around a day.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
