Bath resealing for Belhaven homes

Repairs by material

Shower trays

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

How we handle bath resealing in Belhaven

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about damp near the bath and silicone coming away from the tiles.

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

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Questions from Belhaven

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

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

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

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

How much does bath resealing cost in Belhaven?

Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EH42 postcode.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hidden water damage

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Let steam out after showers

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

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

Prices and what affects them

There is no charge for travel to Belhaven. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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.

Do you need bath resealing in Belhaven?

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
