Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Mossend, West Lothian
Our repair technicians come to Mossend for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Silicone smeared on tiles
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your EH55 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
About our bath resealing in Mossend
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Common call-outs are for black mould in the sealant and gaps in the seal, across wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

When we’d advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A flexing bath
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Mossend, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 often lifts.

What else we do in Mossend
How we price bath resealing
There is no charge for travel to Mossend. The price comes down to:
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

FAQs for Mossend
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
