Trusted bath resealing in Drumbrae

Bath resealing in Drumbrae, 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 kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and people most frequently call us about stained silicone and gaps in the seal.

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

Do you need bath resealing in Drumbrae?

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

Look out for these signs:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Gaps in the seal

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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.

Landlord and trade work in Drumbrae

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Your questions about bath resealing in Drumbrae

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you work in Drumbrae?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Drumbrae and the rest of Edinburgh. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

What does bath resealing cost?

Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your EH4 postcode.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You will get the curing time from us, generally around a day.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Resealing in Drumbrae: why it matters

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

See our prices page.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Baths

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

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep the joints dry

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  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. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

There is no charge for travel to Drumbrae. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
