Bath resealing at your home in Calderwood

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Common call-outs are for silicone coming away from the tiles and an untidy old seal, in wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

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

How we price bath resealing

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash

Most customers in Calderwood get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What a repair can’t fix

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hollow or loose tiles

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Calderwood questions

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What areas do you cover?

All of West Lothian, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Calderwood use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
