Bath resealing in Tayvallich, done in place
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We regularly repair wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are old sealant that looks dirty and silicone coming away from the tiles.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep the joints dry
- Open a window after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
What bath resealing costs
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Common questions in Tayvallich
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
