Bath resealing at your home in Auchleven

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with an untidy old seal and mould you can’t clean out, we can usually put it right.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Auchleven as everywhere else we work.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Open a window after bathing

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

How we price bath resealing

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Why reseal now?

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

  • Movement in the bath or tray

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

Common problems we fix in Auchleven

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Unsealed corners
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Before booking anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

10 questions to ask before you book

Your questions about bath resealing in Auchleven

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Aberdeenshire.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

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

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

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
