Repairs by material

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

How we handle bath resealing in Dalton

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We are frequently asked to fix gaps by the taps and an untidy old seal, on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dalton as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

When we would advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A flexing bath
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How we price bath resealing

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Dalton questions

Do I have to be there?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Which areas do you work in?

All of South Lanarkshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Common problems we fix in Dalton

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

The things clients normally mention when they call include:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Stained silicone
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

What to look for in a quote

  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether the price covers travel

10 questions to ask before booking

Can I fix it myself?

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Why it’s worth resealing in Dalton

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
