About our bath resealing in Tradeston
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s missing sealant behind the taps and silicone smeared on tiles, we can help, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tradeston as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Questions from Tradeston
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Common problems we fix in Tradeston
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep the joints dry
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
