Bath resealing in Cairnryan without replacing anything

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s gaps by the taps and black spots in the silicone, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Prices and what affects them

There’s no charge for travel to Cairnryan. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

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

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DG9 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Resealing in Cairnryan: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • A fixed quote before you book

Read our prices page.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Common problems we fix in Cairnryan

Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • Stained silicone
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Gaps by the taps

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cairnryan as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time.
