How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep the joints dry

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

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take about two hours for a bath, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Related advice

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. 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 will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A fixed quote before you book

Bàgh a'Chaisteil questions

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We will give you the curing time.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Common problems we fix in Bàgh a'Chaisteil

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

People typically call us after spotting something like this:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Aftercare advice

How to compare quotes

What bath resealing costs

We charge the same across the UK, including Bàgh a'Chaisteil. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
