About our bath resealing in Glencoe

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. If you are dealing with an untidy old seal and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Resealing in Glencoe: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Glencoe: your questions answered

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

What happens after I send pictures?

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

Do you work in Glencoe?

We do. Technicians travel to Glencoe from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Air the room after use
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Keep bottles off the joints

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

When to call us in Glencoe

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

People typically call us when they notice something like this:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Unsealed corners
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • A messy previous reseal

Before you book anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What aftercare is recommended

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  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 any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
