Bath resealing for Clachan homes

How we handle bath resealing in Clachan

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about an untidy old seal and water getting behind the bath or tray.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Clachan: your questions answered

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Clachan?

We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

How long will it take?

A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Baths

What affects the price in Clachan

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
