Bath resealing in Tarbrax, done in place
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. If you are dealing with silicone smeared on tiles and damp near the bath, we can typically put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Tarbrax and across West Lothian.

Repairs by material
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

What else we do in Tarbrax
Common questions in Tarbrax
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
How long will it take?
A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
How long does silicone take to cure?
You’ll get the curing time from us, usually around a day.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
Related advice
How we price bath resealing
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Landlord and trade work in Tarbrax
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Let steam out after showers
- Give the seal a regular clean
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
What we’re called out for in Tarbrax
In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
Customers normally contact us about:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- A messy previous reseal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Gaps by the taps
