How we price bath resealing

There’s no charge for travel to Haddington. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Bath resealing in Haddington without replacing anything

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. If you’re dealing with damp near the bath and a messy previous reseal, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How to look after the repair

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

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Let steam out after showers

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

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

What we are called out for in Haddington

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

Common reasons people in Haddington contact us include:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Black spots in the silicone

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

FAQs for Haddington

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How long does silicone take to cure?

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

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Haddington is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

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.
