Bath resealing at your home in Symington
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Common call-outs are for stained silicone and silicone coming away from the tiles, in shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Hidden water damage
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Hollow or loose tiles
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Common problems we fix in Symington
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
The things customers typically mention when they call are:
- Stained silicone
- Damp near the bath
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Gaps in the seal

Landlord and trade work in Symington
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Prices and what affects them
We don’t charge extra for travel to Symington. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
For a price in Symington, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
FAQs for Symington
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
The process
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Related advice
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the joints dry
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Give the seal a regular clean
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
