How we handle bath resealing in Newlands
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. We regularly repair baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are old sealant that looks dirty and water getting behind the bath or tray.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Common questions in Newlands
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Are there extra charges for Newlands?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Newlands and the rest of Glasgow. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you work in Newlands?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Newlands for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Common problems we fix in Newlands
Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.
Look out for any of the following:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Leaks at the edges
- Silicone smeared on tiles

Questions to ask before booking
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What prep work is covered
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Landlord and trade work in Newlands
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours, including clearing up.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
