Prices and what affects them

There is no charge for travel to Countesswells. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo 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.

Bath resealing in Countesswells, done in place

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We regularly repair wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are gaps in the seal and discoloured, yellow sealant.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

When to call us in Countesswells

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

People generally call us after spotting something like this:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Why it’s worth resealing in Countesswells

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Countesswells. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Questions from Countesswells

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Do you cover the entire of Aberdeen?

The entire UK, including all of Aberdeen. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
