Trusted bath resealing in Pollokshields

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How we handle bath resealing in Pollokshields

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. If you’re dealing with gaps by the taps and old sealant that looks dirty, we can normally put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

  • Stained silicone
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Unsealed corners
  • Leaks at the edges

Before booking anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

Resealing in Pollokshields: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No need to remove anything
  • No extra charge for your area

Take a look at our full price list.

What affects the price in Pollokshields

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Questions from Pollokshields

What does bath resealing cost?

Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your G41 postcode.

Do you work in Pollokshields?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Pollokshields from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How long will it take?

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

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

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 will say so.

Landlord and trade work in Pollokshields

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pollokshields use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
