Bath resealing in Garthamlock, done in place

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. We work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people contact us are black spots in the silicone and old sealant that looks dirty.

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

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

What affects the price in Garthamlock

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Common problems we fix in Garthamlock

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Gaps by the taps

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

Garthamlock questions

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Repairs by material

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

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

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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