Bath resealing near Armadale

About our bath resealing in Armadale

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are black spots in the silicone and damp near the bath.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

FAQs for Armadale

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you cover the entire of West Lothian?

We work UK-wide, so Armadale is covered. Prices do not change with location.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you work in Armadale?

We do. We send a technician to Armadale for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

What information do you need?

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

How we price bath resealing

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Basins & vanity units
  • Wet rooms

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Air the room after use
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

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

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Landlord and trade work in Armadale

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

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

Shower trays

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

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
