Common questions in Port Glasgow

Why does mould come back so fast?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you come to Port Glasgow?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Port Glasgow and the rest of Inverclyde. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Take a look at our full price list.

What affects the price in Port Glasgow

You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Most clients in Port Glasgow get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours, including clearing up.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

Related advice

What a repair cannot fix

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

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