Bath resealing in Auchenheath

When we would advise against a repair

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

About our bath resealing in Auchenheath

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Whether it’s gaps in the seal and stained silicone, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What affects the price in Auchenheath

We do not charge extra for travel to Auchenheath. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For a price in Auchenheath, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

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

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Auchenheath: your questions answered

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

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

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

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

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

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Signs you need bath resealing in Auchenheath

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Stained silicone
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Unsealed corners

Questions to ask before you book

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take around two hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
