How we handle bath resealing in Mount Vernon
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our repair technicians work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are missing sealant behind the taps and discoloured, yellow sealant.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

FAQs for Mount Vernon
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you cover the entire of South Lanarkshire?
All of South Lanarkshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Other services in Mount Vernon
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Keep the joints dry
- Use the extractor fan
- Open a window after bathing
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

When to call us in Mount Vernon
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

- Black spots in the silicone
- Stained silicone
