Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Let steam out after showers

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Bath resealing at your home in Broughty Ferry

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. Our technicians work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are missing sealant behind the taps and black mould in the sealant.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

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

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Do you need bath resealing in Broughty Ferry?

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

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Mould you cannot clean out

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

How we price bath resealing

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Why Broughty Ferry customers choose us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

FAQs for Broughty Ferry

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Do you work in Broughty Ferry?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
