Trusted bath resealing in Grantshouse

Bath resealing at your home in Grantshouse

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Whether it’s sealant that’s split or lifting and black mould in the sealant, we can typically put it right.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

What affects the price in Grantshouse

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Your questions about bath resealing in Grantshouse

How much does bath resealing cost in Grantshouse?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Grantshouse and the rest of the Scottish Borders. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.

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

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

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How long does a reseal take?

Typically a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Are there extra charges for Grantshouse?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

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.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Grantshouse

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

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

10 questions to ask before booking

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  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

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
