Bath resealing near Grimsay

Bath resealing in Grimsay without replacing anything

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Whether it’s gaps by the taps and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can generally put it right.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes about two hours for a bath. 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. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  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 run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Movement in the bath or tray

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

Prices and what affects them

There’s no area surcharge for Grimsay. What changes the price is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Your questions about bath resealing in Grimsay

When can I use the bath after resealing?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Grimsay. Prices do not change with location.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
