Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Landlord and trade work in Philpstoun
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Philpstoun use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Philpstoun
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units

Common problems we fix in Philpstoun
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- An untidy old seal
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Dry the seal after bathing
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
FAQs for Philpstoun
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
What does bath resealing cost?
Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your EH49 postcode.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Which areas do you work in?
All of West Lothian, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Prices and what affects them
You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your EH49 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
