About our bath resealing in Gairloch

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Typical jobs include gaps by the taps and mould you can’t clean out, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Work for landlords and builders

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.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Air the room after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

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

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Everything repaired in place

Take a look at our full price list.

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

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

What we work on

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

How we price bath resealing

Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area

No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Questions from Gairloch

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

How long does a reseal take?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Common problems we fix in Gairloch

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Before you book anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the colour is matched
