Bath resealing near An t-Àth Leathann

Bath resealing in An t-Àth Leathann, done in place

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Typical jobs include a messy previous reseal and discoloured, yellow sealant, across baths, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.

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

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes around two hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Common problems we fix in An t-Àth Leathann

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Questions from An t-Àth Leathann

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.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Prices and what affects them

There’s no area surcharge for An t-Àth Leathann. The price reflects:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A flexing bath
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
