FAQs for Townhead

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

How much does bath resealing cost in Townhead?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you cover Townhead?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Townhead and the rest of Glasgow. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

How long will it take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We will give you the curing time, generally around a day.

Bath resealing in Townhead without replacing anything

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Typical jobs include silicone coming away from the tiles and discoloured, yellow sealant, across kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Townhead

  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Wet rooms

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Signs you need bath resealing in Townhead

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Stained silicone
  • Gaps by the taps
  • An untidy old seal
  • Mould you can’t clean out

How to compare quotes

What bath resealing costs

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Townhead. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Air the room after use

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
