Bath resealing for Arradoul homes

How we handle bath resealing in Arradoul

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Whether it’s an untidy old seal and leaks at the edges, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Arradoul and across Moray.

Prices and what affects them

There’s no area surcharge for Arradoul. What changes the price is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Why reseal now?

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take around two hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  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

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hidden water damage
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Arradoul

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Common questions in Arradoul

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.

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 will get one combined price.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

How long before I can shower?

Typically after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Arradoul?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you cover the entire of Moray?

We cover the entire UK, including Arradoul and the rest of Moray. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

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

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Keep the room well ventilated, 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, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
