Bath resealing in Faifley

How we handle bath resealing in Faifley

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Typical jobs include a messy previous reseal and gaps by the taps, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Dunbartonshire.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

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

Questions from Faifley

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How much does bath resealing cost in Faifley?

Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How long will it take?

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

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Signs you need bath resealing in Faifley

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • A messy previous reseal

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What prep work is covered
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Aftercare advice

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

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