Bath resealing in Shotts, done in place
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. We’re frequently asked to fix unsealed corners and leaks at the edges, on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

What else we do in Shotts
Landlords, agents and businesses in Shotts
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
What bath resealing costs
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Keep bottles off the joints
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Resealing in Shotts: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Do you work in Shotts?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Shotts from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
