Trusted bath resealing in Cadder

What we cannot put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we handle bath resealing in Cadder

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We’re frequently asked to fix leaks at the edges and unsealed corners, across baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Cadder and across East Dunbartonshire.

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Keep the joints dry

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Questions from Cadder

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Cadder is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Do I have to be there?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How long does silicone take to cure?

We’ll give you the curing time, typically around a day.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Damp near the bath
  • Unsealed corners

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Cadder

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode

Most clients in Cadder get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cadder

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cadder use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No extra charge for your area
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow around two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
