Bath resealing in Athelstaneford without replacing anything

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. Common call-outs are for damp near the bath and silicone smeared on tiles, across basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Air the room after use

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Do you need bath resealing in Athelstaneford?

In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Damp near the bath
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Before booking anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for about two hours for a bath. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

What bath resealing costs

There is no area surcharge for Athelstaneford. The price reflects:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Natural light rather than flash

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Athelstaneford, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

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.

Why it’s worth resealing in Athelstaneford

Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • No need to remove anything
  • We leave the room as we found it
