Bath resealing for Birnam homes

About our bath resealing in Birnam

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. We’re frequently asked to fix stained silicone and unsealed corners, across kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Questions from Birnam

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We’ll give you the curing time.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

What affects the price in Birnam

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

  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

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

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

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

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What a repair can’t fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

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

What we work on

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

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Most jobs done in one visit
