Bath resealing for Aultbea homes

Why it’s worth resealing in Aultbea

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

About our bath resealing in Aultbea

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you’re dealing with stained silicone and missing sealant behind the taps, we can help.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Highland.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  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 apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Aultbea

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How we price bath resealing

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For a price in Aultbea, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

FAQs for Aultbea

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Aultbea.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

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

We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your IV22 postcode.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

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.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you need bath resealing in Aultbea?

Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Damp near the bath
