Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Strathaven customers choose us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We leave the room as we found it

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

How it works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the area is dry

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What affects the price in Strathaven

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

FAQs for Strathaven

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Are there extra charges for Strathaven?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Do you cover the whole of South Lanarkshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Strathaven included. Travel is included in the price.

Do you cover Strathaven?

We do. Technicians travel to Strathaven from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you need bath resealing in Strathaven?

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How soon you can use it again
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
