Bath resealing in Biggar

Landlord and trade work in Biggar

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cumbria and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Bath resealing in Biggar, done in place

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Common call-outs are for leaks at the edges and a messy previous reseal, on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down 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. 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. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your LA14 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Related advice

What bath resealing costs

There is no charge for travel to Biggar. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Common problems we fix in Biggar

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • A messy previous reseal

Before you book anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Keep the joints dry

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

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

What we can’t put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
