Bath resealing for Ellon homes

Bath resealing at your home in Ellon

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with leaks at the edges and silicone smeared on tiles, we can help.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Ellon questions

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Landlord and trade work in Ellon

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ellon as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

If you manage property in Ellon, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Ellon

You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Choosing a repair company

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes about two hours for a bath, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Keep the joints dry

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

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
