Bath resealing in Blairninich

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

About our bath resealing in Blairninich

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you are dealing with leaks at the edges and gaps in the seal, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper 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.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

FAQs for Blairninich

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Blairninich and the rest of Highland. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Blairninich and the rest of Highland. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What does bath resealing cost?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

What bath resealing costs

You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Something in shot to show the size

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What we’re called out for in Blairninich

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Unsealed corners
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How changes to the job are handled

Our hiring checklist

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.

Baths

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