About our bath resealing in Ardbeg
Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. We work on baths, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are sealant that’s split or lifting and silicone smeared on tiles.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Do you need bath resealing in Ardbeg?
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Damp near the bath
- Silicone smeared on tiles
What to look for in a quote
- How your room will be protected
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a couple of hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep the joints dry
- Air the room after use
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
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 Ardbeg
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Ardbeg: your questions answered
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Prices and what affects them
We charge the same across the UK, including Ardbeg. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
