Bath resealing in Burghmuirhead, done in place

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Whether it’s missing sealant behind the taps and a messy previous reseal, we can typically put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures alike.

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

Prices and what affects them

We do not charge extra for travel to Burghmuirhead. The price comes down to:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Signs you need bath resealing in Burghmuirhead

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Burghmuirhead

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a couple of hours.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Burghmuirhead questions

Do you come to Burghmuirhead?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Burghmuirhead from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Usually after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Are there extra charges for Burghmuirhead?

There is no separate call-out charge. 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.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

How to care for the repair

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

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Keep the joints dry

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

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.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Wet rooms
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Baths
