Bath resealing in Prestonfield without replacing anything
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for discoloured, yellow sealant and black spots in the silicone, across baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Advice
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What else we do in Prestonfield
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Air the room after use
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A flexing bath
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
