Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

Shower trays

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

About our bath resealing in Glensburgh

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours. If you’re dealing with water getting behind the bath or tray and a messy previous reseal, we can usually put it right.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How we price bath resealing

You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Most customers in Glensburgh get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hidden water damage
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Questions from Glensburgh

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What happens next?

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

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How long does silicone take to cure?

We will give you the curing time, usually around a day.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Do you cover the entire of Falkirk?

We cover the whole UK, including Glensburgh and the rest of Falkirk. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

What we are called out for in Glensburgh

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Stained silicone
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Sealant that is split or lifting

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

10 questions to ask before booking

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Glensburgh. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
