Bath Resealing in Na h-Eileanan Siar

Bath resealing at your home in Na h-Eileanan Siar

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. We work on baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant that’s split or lifting and a messy previous reseal.

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How the damage happens

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Common reasons people in Na h-Eileanan Siar contact us are:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Black spots in the silicone

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A flexing bath

Why repair rather than replace?

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive.
