Your questions about bath resealing in Oatlands
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Normally because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Glasgow.

When to call us in Oatlands

Look out for any of the following:
- Gaps by the taps
- Damp near the bath
- A messy previous reseal
- Gaps in the seal

- What preparation is included
- How soon you can use it again
- Aftercare advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

- Open a window after bathing

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
