Bath resealing for Auchinreoch homes

What bath resealing costs

We do not charge extra for travel to Auchinreoch. The price comes down to:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How we handle bath resealing in Auchinreoch

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed. Most jobs take a couple of hours, plus curing time. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps by the taps and black mould in the sealant.

FAQs for Auchinreoch

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

When to call us in Auchinreoch

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Unsealed corners
  • Damp near the bath

What to look for in a quote

  • How your room will be protected
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow around two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
