Bath resealing near Barns of Claverhouse

About our bath resealing in Barns of Claverhouse

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s missing sealant behind the taps and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can help, whatever the material.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dundee.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Prices and what affects them

There is no charge for travel to Barns of Claverhouse. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode

Barns of Claverhouse questions

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
