Trusted bath resealing in Birkhill

Bath resealing in Birkhill, done in place

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. If you’re dealing with water getting behind the bath or tray and mould you can’t clean out, we can help, whatever the material.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Birkhill and across Dundee.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Related advice

Why reseal now?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Read our prices page.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

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

What bath resealing costs

There is no area surcharge for Birkhill. What changes the price is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Birkhill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

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

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Dundee and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Birkhill as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hollow or loose tiles

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

Common questions in Birkhill

Do you come to Birkhill?

We do. We send a technician to Birkhill for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How long before I can shower?

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

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Is there any odour?

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

Do you cover the whole of Dundee?

Everywhere in the UK, Birkhill included. Travel is included in the price.
