Bath resealing for Gartly homes

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Bath resealing in Gartly without replacing anything

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for missing sealant behind the taps and black mould in the sealant, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Air the room after use
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

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

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

The process

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

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

FAQs for Gartly

How quickly can you book me in?

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

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Gartly?

Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Why does mould come back so fast?

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

What bath resealing costs

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

  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

What we’re called out for in Gartly

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

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Unsealed corners
  • An untidy old seal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How the room is protected while they work

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
