Bath resealing in Ballygown without replacing anything

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about discoloured, yellow sealant and missing sealant behind the taps.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What a repair can’t fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

FAQs for Ballygown

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How long does resealing take?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Open a window after bathing

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

What we are called out for in Ballygown

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

People normally call us after spotting something like this:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Black mould in the sealant

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the price covers travel

10 questions to ask before booking

What affects the price in Ballygown

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ballygown. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For a price in Ballygown, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Can I fix it myself?

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

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes about two hours for a bath, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
