Bath resealing for Ardentinny homes

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

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.

About our bath resealing in Ardentinny

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Whether it’s silicone coming away from the tiles and gaps by the taps, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ardentinny

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ardentinny use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

If you manage property in Ardentinny, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

How it works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for around two hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

Prices and what affects them

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Resealing in Ardentinny: why it matters

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why Ardentinny customers choose us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Your questions about bath resealing in Ardentinny

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Ardentinny included. Travel is included in the price.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Movement in the bath or tray

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

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Open a window after bathing

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Signs you need bath resealing in Ardentinny

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Unsealed corners
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Stained silicone

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the colour is matched
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the price covers travel
