Trusted bath resealing in Elie

The process

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 about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  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. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Bath resealing at your home in Elie

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Typical jobs include water getting behind the bath or tray and a messy previous reseal, in shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Elie and across Fife.

Elie: your questions answered

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Fife. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

How much does bath resealing cost in Elie?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How do I book?

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

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Resealing in Elie: why it matters

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why Elie clients choose us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Same prices wherever you are

See our pricing.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A flexing bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What affects the price in Elie

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

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your KY9 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

When to call us in Elie

In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Leaks at the edges

Before you book anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
