Bath resealing near Balnacra

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

About our bath resealing in Balnacra

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about black spots in the silicone and discoloured, yellow sealant.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What bath resealing costs

You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Balnacra. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Balnacra questions

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

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

Is it messy?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Does someone need to be in?

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

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Balnacra?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Resealing in Balnacra: why it matters

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why Balnacra customers choose us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Take a look at our pricing.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a couple of hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

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