Bath resealing in Annan

Bath resealing in Annan without replacing anything

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s missing sealant behind the taps and mould you can’t clean out, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Annan and across Dumfries and Galloway.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What affects the price in Annan

There’s no area surcharge for Annan. What changes the price is:

  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Annan. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Annan questions

Do you cover the entire of Dumfries and Galloway?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

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

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

What does bath resealing cost?

Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your DG12 postcode.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 usually cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
