Bath resealing for Drem homes

What bath resealing costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Bath resealing in Drem, done in place

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. We work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are black mould in the sealant and an untidy old seal.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Drem and across East Lothian.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Open a window after bathing

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A flexing bath

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Do you need bath resealing in Drem?

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Stained silicone
  • A messy previous reseal

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What preparation is included
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What aftercare is recommended

How to compare quotes

Your questions about bath resealing in Drem

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

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, once the joint is completely dry.
