Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Open a window after bathing

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, 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.

Bath resealing in Charlestown, done in place

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, plus curing time. Our technicians work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are leaks at the edges and silicone coming away from the tiles.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.

Charlestown questions

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will it make a mess?

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

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How long will it take?

Normally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you need bath resealing in Charlestown?

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Gaps in the seal

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How to look after the finish
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Charlestown

For anyone letting property in or around Charlestown, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Aberdeen and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A flexing bath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How we price bath resealing

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
