Bath resealing in Hatton of Fintray

Bath resealing in Hatton of Fintray without replacing anything

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. If you are dealing with a messy previous reseal and gaps by the taps, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Movement in the bath or tray

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

What we work on

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Baths
  • Wet rooms
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Shower trays & enclosures

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

What affects the price in Hatton of Fintray

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Most clients in Hatton of Fintray get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

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

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.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a couple of hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

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 won’t last.

Hatton of Fintray questions

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

How long does silicone take to cure?

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

Do you come to Hatton of Fintray?

We do. Technicians travel to Hatton of Fintray from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How long does resealing take?

Normally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hatton of Fintray

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Aberdeen and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
