Trusted bath resealing in Footdee

Bath resealing in Footdee, done in place

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. We work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are missing sealant behind the taps and gaps in the seal.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Air the room after use
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Why it’s worth resealing in Footdee

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why Footdee clients choose us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We leave the room as we found it

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Your questions about bath resealing in Footdee

Are you a vetted contractor?

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: 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 price, not an estimate.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

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

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

If you manage property in Footdee, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
