Bath resealing in Forbes

How we price bath resealing

We charge the same across the UK, including Forbes. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Bath resealing at your home in Forbes

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We are often asked to fix gaps by the taps and mould you can’t clean out, on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.

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

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a couple of hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Forbes

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Air the room after use
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Resealing in Forbes: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Forbes. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Forbes customers choose us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

See our full price list.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Forbes: your questions answered

Are there extra charges for Forbes?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do you come to Forbes?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Forbes and the rest of Aberdeenshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Forbes included. Travel is included in the price.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Usually after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

When to call us in Forbes

In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Black mould in the sealant

Before you book anyone

  • Who turns up on the day
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long it needs to cure
