Bath resealing in Blairhall

Bath resealing in Blairhall without replacing anything

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. Our technicians work on baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are leaks at the edges and an untidy old seal.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

The process

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow about two hours for a bath. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Resealing in Blairhall: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why Blairhall customers choose us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

See our pricing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Blairhall

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Store bottles on a shelf

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

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

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
