Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in New Trows, South Lanarkshire
Fixed-price bath resealing in New Trows and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases.
- An untidy old seal
- Sealant that is split or lifting

How we handle bath resealing in New Trows
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. If you are dealing with gaps in the seal and stained silicone, we can help.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in New Trows and across South Lanarkshire.

What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours, including clearing up.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Advice
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Hidden water damage
- Very wide gaps that need a trim

What bath resealing costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- The material
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your ML11 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Store bottles on a shelf
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Resealing in New Trows: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
