How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

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

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access

Common questions in Brunstane

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

How much does bath resealing cost in Brunstane?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Brunstane included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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

Are there extra charges for Brunstane?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Signs you need bath resealing in Brunstane

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

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

  • Damp near the bath
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • An untidy old seal

Our hiring checklist

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Air the room after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Brunstane. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Resealing in Brunstane: why it matters

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. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One price list for the whole UK

Landlord and trade work in Brunstane

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For developers and builders, we fix 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.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
