Bath resealing at your home in Haugh of Urr

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with 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. We work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are silicone coming away from the tiles and missing sealant behind the taps.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

How to compare quotes

Common questions in Haugh of Urr

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

What affects the price in Haugh of Urr

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

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

Materials we work on in Haugh of Urr

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

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Dry the seal after bathing

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

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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One visit for most repairs
