Bath resealing in Haddington without replacing anything

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about a messy previous reseal and missing sealant behind the taps.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Advice

What bath resealing costs

We charge the same across the UK, including Haddington. What changes the price is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Haddington. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When a repair is not the answer

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Haddington

Haddington questions

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Does someone need to be in?

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