How we handle bath resealing in Cupar Muir

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s black spots in the silicone and a messy previous reseal, we can generally put it right.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

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.

Cupar Muir: your questions answered

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Are there extra charges for Cupar Muir?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

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

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Shower trays

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

Baths

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

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for about two hours for a bath. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

See our prices page.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

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

Materials we work on in Cupar Muir

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

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan

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

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cupar Muir

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Fife and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Signs you need bath resealing in Cupar Muir

Common reasons people in Cupar Muir contact us are:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Gaps by the taps

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • If travel is included in the price
  • When it can be used again
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
