Bath resealing in Gourdon without replacing anything

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are silicone smeared on tiles and black spots in the silicone.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Aberdeenshire.

The process

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

  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. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

What affects the price in Gourdon

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • The material

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size

Most clients in Gourdon get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Why it’s worth resealing in Gourdon

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why Gourdon clients choose us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Most jobs done in one visit

See our prices page.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Use the extractor fan

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Gourdon: your questions answered

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Gourdon.

Do you cover the entire of Aberdeenshire?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you cover Gourdon?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Gourdon and the rest of Aberdeenshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Signs you need bath resealing in Gourdon

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Damp near the bath
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • When it can be used again

Our hiring checklist

Landlord and trade work in Gourdon

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
