Bath resealing in Balgowan

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Bath resealing in Balgowan, done in place

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. We work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about silicone smeared on tiles and black spots in the silicone.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take around two hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Do you need bath resealing in Balgowan?

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

People normally call us after spotting something like this:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • An untidy old seal
  • Sealant that is split or lifting

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Open a window after bathing

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

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

FAQs for Balgowan

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Balgowan.

Do you work in Balgowan?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Balgowan and the rest of Dundee. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

How long will it take?

A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

How we price bath resealing

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
