Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upper Kilchattan as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
When to call us in Upper Kilchattan
Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Gaps by the taps
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Leaks at the edges
Before booking anyone
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Let steam out after showers
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Your questions about bath resealing in Upper Kilchattan
Do you work in Upper Kilchattan?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Upper Kilchattan for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Upper Kilchattan?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
