Bath resealing for Brechin homes

Prices and what affects them

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Bath resealing in Brechin, done in place

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours. If you are dealing with silicone smeared on tiles and leaks at the edges, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to around two hours, including clearing up.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Air the room after use
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.

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.

When to call us in Brechin

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Stained silicone

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Aftercare advice

How to compare quotes

Resealing in Brechin: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Brechin. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Same prices wherever you are

Shower trays

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

Baths

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

Brechin: your questions answered

Can new silicone go over old?

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

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We will give you the curing time.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Are there extra charges for Brechin?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
