Bath resealing at your home in Shawlands
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s old sealant that looks dirty and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can help, on baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Shawlands and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

FAQs for Shawlands
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Glasgow.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How much does bath resealing cost in Shawlands?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Local landmarks in Shawlands

You’ll also find Queen's Park (0.8 miles east), Shawlands Academy (less than half a mile north-east) and Craigholme School (0.8 miles north). Shawlands has its own railway station: Shawlands station.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Common problems we fix in Shawlands
Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Gaps by the taps
- Damp near the bath
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Why it’s worth resealing in Shawlands
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

What affects the price in Shawlands
Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
