Bath resealing in Ardfern without replacing anything

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. If you are dealing with discoloured, yellow sealant and leaks at the edges, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

How we price bath resealing

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your PA31 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What we can’t put right

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

  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hollow or loose tiles

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

What we work on

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ardfern

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Air the room after use

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

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.

Ardfern: your questions answered

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

How much does bath resealing cost in Ardfern?

We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

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

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you cover the entire of Argyll and Bute?

The whole UK, including all of Argyll and Bute. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

When to call us in Ardfern

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long it needs to cure
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What aftercare is recommended

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  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. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
