About our bath resealing in Birchburn

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, in a neat, continuous bead. We work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most often call us about old sealant that looks dirty and black spots in the silicone.

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

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hollow or loose tiles

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

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No need to remove anything
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A fixed quote before booking

See our full price list.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Air the room after use

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Birchburn: your questions answered

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Birchburn?

We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your KA27 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What bath resealing costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Birchburn

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

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