Bath resealing near Earlsferry

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

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

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Your questions about bath resealing in Earlsferry

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you quote from photos?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

How long before I can shower?

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

How we price bath resealing

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Why it’s worth resealing in Earlsferry

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

See our pricing.

Do you need bath resealing in Earlsferry?

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Leaks at the edges

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • When it can be used again
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  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

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
