Bath resealing for Closeburn homes

How we handle bath resealing in Closeburn

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Typical jobs include black mould in the sealant and damp near the bath, on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When to call us in Closeburn

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Black spots in the silicone

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Closeburn as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

If you manage property in Closeburn, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice

Closeburn: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

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

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price bath resealing

We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
