Bath resealing in Dolphinton

Landlord and trade work in Dolphinton

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

About our bath resealing in Dolphinton

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Common call-outs are for gaps in the seal and silicone smeared on tiles, on baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Dolphinton: your questions answered

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow around two hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

What we are called out for in Dolphinton

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

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Unsealed corners
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

What to look for in a quote

  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price covers travel

Choosing a repair company

Why it’s worth resealing in Dolphinton

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

Read our prices page.

What we can’t put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

How we price bath resealing

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

  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
