What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

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

Materials we repair

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

About our bath resealing in East Whitburn

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, plus curing time. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are water getting behind the bath or tray and stained silicone.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

How we price bath resealing

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your EH47 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What we are called out for in East Whitburn

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Questions from East Whitburn

How long will it take?

A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

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

Which areas do you work in?

All of West Lothian, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do the materials smell?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a couple of hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the area is dry

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

Why reseal now?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually 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.
