Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Let steam out after showers

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.

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

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  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. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

What affects the price in Barrachnie

There’s no charge for travel to Barrachnie. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Resealing in Barrachnie: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Your questions about bath resealing in Barrachnie

Can you quote from pictures?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

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

Are there extra charges for Barrachnie?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you come to Barrachnie?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Barrachnie from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Common problems we fix in Barrachnie

Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Damp near the bath
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What aftercare is recommended
