Bath resealing near Shettleston

Bath resealing in Shettleston without replacing anything

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Common call-outs are for missing sealant behind the taps and old sealant that looks dirty, on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes around two hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Why reseal now?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • One visit for most repairs

When to call us in Shettleston

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Damp near the bath
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Choosing a repair company

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Questions from Shettleston

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Glasgow.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shettleston

If you manage property in Shettleston, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shettleston use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Prices and what affects them

There’s no charge for travel to Shettleston. The price comes down to:

  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
