Bath resealing for Craignure homes

When a repair is not the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Hidden water damage
  • A flexing bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Craignure

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

How we handle bath resealing in Craignure

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. If you are dealing with an untidy old seal and mould you can’t clean out, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

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

Baths

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

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Keep the joints dry

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Common questions in Craignure

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How much does bath resealing cost in Craignure?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Craignure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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 does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What affects the price in Craignure

We do not charge extra for travel to Craignure. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

If you are in Craignure and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What we are called out for in Craignure

Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Stained silicone
  • Black spots in the silicone

What to look for in a quote

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How the colour is matched
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow about two hours for a bath, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  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.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
