How we handle bath resealing in Craighouse

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s silicone smeared on tiles and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can normally put it right.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What affects the price in Craighouse

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • What it’s made of, if you know

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

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

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

What to look for in a quote

Our hiring checklist

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take around two hours.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your PA60 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Craighouse: your questions answered

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
