About our bath resealing in Breich

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with 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 black mould in the sealant and leaks at the edges, we can help, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Resealing in Breich: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Prices and what affects them

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower

For a price in Breich, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Breich

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

Breich: your questions answered

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you cover the entire of West Lothian?

Across the UK, so Breich is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Do you need bath resealing in Breich?

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • An untidy old seal
  • Leaks at the edges

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
