Bath resealing at your home in Barcaldine

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, plus curing time. If you’re dealing with silicone coming away from the tiles and leaks at the edges, we can generally put it right, on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths alike.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Landlord and trade work in Barcaldine

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Air the room after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

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.

Barcaldine: your questions answered

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you cover the entire of Argyll and Bute?

We cover the entire UK, including Barcaldine and the rest of Argyll and Bute. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A flexing bath
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we are called out for in Barcaldine

Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Unsealed corners
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How to care for the finish

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What affects the price in Barcaldine

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Barcaldine. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes around two hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
