How we handle bath resealing in Ballifeary

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. Whether it’s black spots in the silicone and damp near the bath, we can help, on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Ballifeary and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we can’t put right

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Highland. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you need bath resealing in Ballifeary?

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Gaps in the seal

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What prep work is covered
  • What aftercare is recommended

Our hiring checklist

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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