Bath resealing for Arrochar homes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Bath resealing in Arrochar without replacing anything

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s old sealant that looks dirty and black mould in the sealant, we can typically put it right, on baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Arrochar

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For anyone letting property in or around Arrochar, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Air the room after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

How we price bath resealing

You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Common problems we fix in Arrochar

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Stained silicone

Before booking anyone

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • If travel is included in the price

Choosing a repair company

What we cannot put right

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A flexing bath

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

Materials we repair

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

FAQs for Arrochar

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You will get the curing time from us.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

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

We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your G83 postcode.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take about two hours for a bath.

  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.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage
