Bath resealing in Glenlochar

Bath resealing in Glenlochar, done in place

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are an untidy old seal and black mould in the sealant.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

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

When to call us in Glenlochar

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

People usually call us when they notice something like this:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Damp near the bath

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

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

Glenlochar questions

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

Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DG7 postcode.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A flexing bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

We charge the same across the UK, including Glenlochar. The price reflects:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • Access to the area

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower

If you are in Glenlochar and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

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