Bath resealing near Drumvaich

Bath resealing in Drumvaich, done in place

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s mould you can’t clean out and silicone smeared on tiles, we can help.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

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.

Questions from Drumvaich

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time, normally around a day.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Drumvaich included. Travel is included in the price.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep the joints dry

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow around two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

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

What affects the price in Drumvaich

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Most clients in Drumvaich get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When to call us in Drumvaich

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

Comparing quotes

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No need to remove anything
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
