About our bath resealing in An Tairbeart

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and people most often call us about silicone coming away from the tiles and damp near the bath.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Your questions about bath resealing in An Tairbeart

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

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

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in An Tairbeart?

Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Do you need bath resealing in An Tairbeart?

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

The things clients generally mention when they call include:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Our work in An Tairbeart

An Tairbeart (Gaelic: Tarbert) is about 25 miles west of Greenock, in Argyll and Bute. We travel to homes and businesses in An Tairbeart and nearby villages, so you don’t need to take anything anywhere. An Tairbeart is one of 118 places in Argyll and Bute where we work. We work right across the region, from An Tairbeart to Glasgow (44 miles away).

Postcode districts we cover here: PA29. You will find streets such as Market Place, Castle Street and Kintyre Place, and we cover them all. An Tairbeart sits on or near the A8015, so getting to you is simple.

Landlord and trade work in An Tairbeart

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep bottles off the joints

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in An Tairbeart

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

Why it’s worth resealing in An Tairbeart

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
