Questions from Craigrothie

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

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

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

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Will you leave a mess?

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

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Bath resealing at your home in Craigrothie

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. If you are dealing with damp near the bath and gaps in the seal, we can help, whatever the material.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

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

Materials we work on in Craigrothie

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

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Let steam out after showers

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Craigrothie

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Do you need bath resealing in Craigrothie?

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

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Black spots in the silicone

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

Prices and what affects them

There’s no charge for travel to Craigrothie. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Craigrothie. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
