A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Bath resealing in Gretna Green without replacing anything

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Whether it’s silicone coming away from the tiles and damp near the bath, we can help, whatever the material.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dumfries and Galloway.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Signs you need bath resealing in Gretna Green

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Stained silicone
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Mould you can’t clean out

Questions to ask before you book

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How the colour is matched
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

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

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common questions in Gretna Green

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.

Do you cover Gretna Green?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Gretna Green from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Do you cover the whole of Dumfries and Galloway?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Gretna Green. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gretna Green

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
