- Missing sealant behind the taps

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Use the extractor fan
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
How we handle bath resealing in Milton of Buchanan
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s gaps in the seal and an untidy old seal, we can help.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Milton of Buchanan. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Common questions in Milton of Buchanan
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
