Bath resealing in Greenock West without replacing anything

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s black spots in the silicone and unsealed corners, we can help.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Keep the joints dry

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What affects the price in Greenock West

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Common problems we fix in Greenock West

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

Your questions about bath resealing in Greenock West

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

What does bath resealing cost?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How long before I can shower?

Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

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

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How it works

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 about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
