Why it’s worth resealing in Balnabruich

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Bath resealing in Balnabruich, done in place

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you’re dealing with leaks at the edges and gaps by the taps, we can usually put it right, on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  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. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Air the room after use
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Your questions about bath resealing in Balnabruich

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Highland. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you come to Balnabruich?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Balnabruich for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is there any odour?

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

How do I stop mould in sealant?

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

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • A flexing bath
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Balnabruich

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What we are called out for in Balnabruich

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Damp near the bath
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
