Bath resealing in Wiston, done in place
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Whether it’s missing sealant behind the taps and black mould in the sealant, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in South Lanarkshire.

How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, tidy-up included.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Your questions about bath resealing in Wiston
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Typically after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do you work in Wiston?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Wiston and the rest of South Lanarkshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
How we price bath resealing
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Wiston, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Wiston
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Air the room after use
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Wiston. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
