Bath resealing for Dalreoch homes

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures 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.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Bath resealing in Dalreoch, done in place

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. Common call-outs are for damp near the bath and gaps by the taps, in basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Signs you need bath resealing in Dalreoch

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

How to compare quotes

What bath resealing costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Dalreoch. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Air the room after use

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

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

FAQs for Dalreoch

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

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

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
