What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes 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 dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

About our bath resealing in Banff

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Common call-outs are for a messy previous reseal and old sealant that looks dirty, on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Air the room after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Hidden water damage

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

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

Your questions about bath resealing in Banff

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can landlords book you?

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

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Common problems we fix in Banff

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Comparing quotes

  • How your room will be protected
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the price covers travel

Our hiring checklist

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
