Bath resealing in Garmouth

Bath resealing in Garmouth, 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. Our technicians work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are unsealed corners and black mould in the sealant.

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

Common questions in Garmouth

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Moray.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can new silicone go over old?

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

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Hollow or loose tiles

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Let steam out after showers

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes around two hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What we’re called out for in Garmouth

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Sealant that is split or lifting

Before you book anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Landlord and trade work in Garmouth

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Moray and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
