About our bath resealing in Alva

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. Common call-outs are for mould you can’t clean out and missing sealant behind the taps, across basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths.

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

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Keep the joints dry

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

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Why it’s worth resealing in Alva

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What a repair cannot fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

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

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

Surfaces we repair

  • Basins & vanity units
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

  • Baths

How we price bath resealing

We charge the same across the UK, including Alva. The price reflects:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Alva, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take about two hours for a bath.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Alva

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Alva: your questions answered

What happens next?

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

Are there extra charges for Alva?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Signs you need bath resealing in Alva

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How the colour is matched
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
