When to call us in Dalry

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Mould you cannot clean out

Before you book anyone

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Dalry

We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know

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 will reply with a fixed price.

Why it’s worth resealing in Dalry

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Dalry. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Dalry customers choose us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No need to remove anything
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One visit for most repairs

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 won’t last.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to around two hours, including clearing up.

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

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access

Questions from Dalry

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Dry the seal after bathing

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.
