Bath resealing at your home in North Kelvinside

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. If you are dealing with old sealant that looks dirty and gaps by the taps, we can help.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A flexing bath
  • Hidden water damage
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Wet rooms
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Baths
  • Shower trays & enclosures

Landlord and trade work in North Kelvinside

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Glasgow and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

How we price bath resealing

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Common questions in North Kelvinside

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Are there extra charges for North Kelvinside?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

Common problems we fix in North Kelvinside

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

People typically call us after spotting something like this:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Gaps in the seal

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
