Bath resealing near Auldcathie

Bath resealing in Auldcathie, done in place

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Our repair technicians work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps in the seal and stained silicone.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Common questions in Auldcathie

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Auldcathie is covered. Prices do not change with location.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you work in Auldcathie?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Auldcathie from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • No need to remove anything

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What bath resealing costs

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

There are no surprise 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

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can I fix it myself?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
