Trusted bath resealing in Cruden Bay

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Bath resealing at your home in Cruden Bay

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. Whether it’s gaps by the taps and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can help, on baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Letting agents frequently send us photos 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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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, to open the joint fully.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, tidy-up included.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Questions from Cruden Bay

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Will there be a smell?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Signs you need bath resealing in Cruden Bay

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work
