Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Same prices wherever you are

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Use the extractor fan

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Common problems we fix in Acharacle

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Stained silicone
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Sealant that is split or lifting

Common questions in Acharacle

How do I stop mould in sealant?

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

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you work in Acharacle?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Acharacle and the rest of Highland. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We’ll give you the curing time.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

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

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A flexing bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles

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

Landlord and trade work in Acharacle

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
