Trusted bath resealing in Braehoulland

About our bath resealing in Braehoulland

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. If you are dealing with sealant that’s split or lifting and black mould in the sealant, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

FAQs for Braehoulland

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

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

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you quote from photos?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you cover the whole of the Shetland Islands?

The entire UK, including all of the Shetland Islands. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you need bath resealing in Braehoulland?

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

The things clients typically mention when they call are:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Our hiring checklist

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  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 run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
