Bath resealing in Aith

Prices and what affects them

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Bath resealing in Aith, done in place

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Common call-outs are for unsealed corners and stained silicone, in wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Signs you need bath resealing in Aith

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

People typically call us after spotting something like this:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • An untidy old seal
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Questions from Aith

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you quote from photos?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

Why it’s worth resealing in Aith

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
