Bath resealing in Davidston without replacing anything

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Typical jobs include stained silicone and a messy previous reseal, across basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Questions from Davidston

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

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

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

How do I book?

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

Can landlords book you?

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

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Davidston included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

What a repair can’t fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A flexing bath
  • Hidden water damage

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  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. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How we price bath resealing

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job without visiting.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

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.
