Bath resealing in Dalbeattie

DIY kit or professional 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, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Bath resealing in Dalbeattie, done in place

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops using mould-resistant silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Common call-outs are for mould you can’t clean out and old sealant that looks dirty, across basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Common questions in Dalbeattie

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We will give you the curing time.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

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

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do I need to be at home?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Air the room after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

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

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes around two hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
