Your questions about bath resealing in Crathes

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you cover the entire of Aberdeenshire?

The whole UK, including all of Aberdeenshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

How long will it take?

Usually a couple of hours, plus curing time.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Are there extra charges for Crathes?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

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

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Do you need bath resealing in Crathes?

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

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • An untidy old seal

10 questions to ask before booking

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

What bath resealing costs

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

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
