How we handle bath resealing in Sauchieburn
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We work on baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about stained silicone and silicone smeared on tiles.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

- Black spots in the silicone

Common questions in Sauchieburn
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Air the room after use
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
