Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
How we handle bath resealing in Old Philpstoun
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We are often asked to fix an untidy old seal and old sealant that looks dirty, in baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Old Philpstoun and across West Lothian.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Old Philpstoun. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why book with us

- Gaps by the taps
- An untidy old seal
- Sealant that’s split or lifting

Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Use the extractor fan
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
