Bath resealing at your home in Scotstoun
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are silicone coming away from the tiles and a messy previous reseal.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Scotstoun questions
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

- We remove the residue and clean the joint.

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.
