Bath resealing at your home in Campbeltown

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Common call-outs are for damp near the bath and unsealed corners, across baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.

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

Can I fix it myself?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

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

Why reseal now?

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

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Signs you need bath resealing in Campbeltown

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

What to look for in a quote

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What preparation is included
  • Who turns up on the day

How to compare quotes

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Let steam out after showers

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

What we cannot put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

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

What we work on

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

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow about two hours for a bath, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

Advice

How we price bath resealing

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

FAQs for Campbeltown

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Campbeltown.

When can you do it?

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

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
