We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

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

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Armadale questions

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 and your postcode.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 won’t last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Common problems we fix in Armadale

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Stained silicone
  • Black mould in the sealant

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • When it can be used again

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes around two hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

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

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Armadale

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Prices and what affects them

We charge the same across the UK, including Armadale. The price reflects:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
