Bath resealing in Carndu without replacing anything

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Whether it’s black spots in the silicone and gaps in the seal, we can usually put it right.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, tidy-up included.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Landlords, agents and businesses in Carndu

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

Carndu: your questions answered

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Normally because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Do you cover the whole of Highland?

All of Highland, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Is there a guarantee?

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

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Signs you need bath resealing in Carndu

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the price covers travel

10 questions to ask before booking

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

How we price bath resealing

Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

If you’re in Carndu and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, then guarantee it for a year.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
