Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Muirhouse, North Lanarkshire
Bath resealing in Muirhouse without the cost of replacing. Send us pictures for a fixed price, then we come to you.
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Gaps by the taps
- A messy previous reseal
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
About our bath resealing in Muirhouse
All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Typical jobs include black spots in the silicone and sealant that’s split or lifting, in kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Lanarkshire.

Prices and what affects them
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Muirhouse, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
When to call us in Muirhouse
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Stained silicone
- Black mould in the sealant
- A messy previous reseal
Before booking anyone
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the price covers travel
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
