Bath resealing for Balintore homes

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

About our bath resealing in Balintore

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with leaks at the edges and black mould in the sealant, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How we price bath resealing

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Your questions about bath resealing in Balintore

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Do you cover the entire of Highland?

All of Highland, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Highland.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Typically after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. 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.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When to call us in Balintore

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Sealant that is split or lifting

What to look for in a quote

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What aftercare is recommended

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

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

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

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

Surfaces we repair

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