Bath resealing at your home in Duns

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you are dealing with damp near the bath and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can generally put it right, on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repairs by material

Baths

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Why it’s worth resealing in Duns

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why Duns customers choose us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

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

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Duns

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

If you manage property in Duns, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

How it works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes around two hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

Duns questions

How long before I can shower?

Typically after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
