When to call us in Alloway

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Gaps by the taps

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before you book

Bath resealing in Alloway without replacing anything

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about silicone smeared on tiles and gaps in the seal.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in South Ayrshire.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

What affects the price in Alloway

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

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it

We price from pictures 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’ll come back with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hollow or loose tiles

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

  • Baths
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Wet rooms

Common questions in Alloway

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Do you work in Alloway?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Alloway for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  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 if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
