Bath resealing in Braemar without replacing anything

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s leaks at the edges and unsealed corners, we can help.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Dry the seal after bathing

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.

Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash

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

Your questions about bath resealing in Braemar

When can I use the bath after resealing?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Do you come to Braemar?

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

Repairs by material

Baths

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

Shower trays

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

Landlord and trade work in Braemar

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Common problems we fix in Braemar

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Damp near the bath
  • Gaps in the seal

Comparing quotes

  • How your room will be protected
  • How long it needs to cure
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

10 questions to ask before booking

Resealing in Braemar: why it matters

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why Braemar clients choose us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • No need to remove anything
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a couple of hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your AB35 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not 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 often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
