Can I fix it myself?

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. 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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap 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

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Common problems we fix in Davidson's Mains

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Look out for these signs:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Damp near the bath
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • A messy previous reseal

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the colour is matched
  • How the room is protected while they work

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Your questions about bath resealing in Davidson's Mains

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you work in Davidson's Mains?

We do. Technicians travel to Davidson's Mains from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How long does a reseal take?

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

Do you charge for travel?

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

How we price bath resealing

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
