Common questions in Aberlady

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Do you cover the entire of East Lothian?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Aberlady. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

About our bath resealing in Aberlady

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 basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and people most often call us about gaps in the seal and black spots in the silicone.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Lothian.

How we price bath resealing

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Open a window after bathing

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Why it’s worth resealing in Aberlady

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. 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.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No extra charge for your area

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

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

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hidden water damage
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Aberlady

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

If you manage property in Aberlady, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for about two hours for a bath. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
