Trusted bath resealing in Crosshill

Bath resealing at your home in Crosshill

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are sealant that’s split or lifting and black mould in the sealant.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Common questions in Crosshill

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Do you cover the whole of South Ayrshire?

We cover the entire UK, including Crosshill and the rest of South Ayrshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, 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.

What a repair cannot fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow around two hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

What bath resealing costs

You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Access to the area

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your KA19 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Why it’s worth resealing in Crosshill

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
