Bath resealing in Skelmorlie without replacing anything
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are unsealed corners and discoloured, yellow sealant.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Skelmorlie questions
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
What we are called out for in Skelmorlie
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
What to look for in a quote
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the colour is matched
- What preparation is included

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Prices and what affects them
Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Advice
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures

If you manage property in Skelmorlie, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Resealing in Skelmorlie: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
