Bath resealing in Hayhill

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Use the extractor fan

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

How we handle bath resealing in Hayhill

We cut out all of the old sealant, 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. We’re frequently asked to fix leaks at the edges and black spots in the silicone, in wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Common questions in Hayhill

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you cover the whole of South Ayrshire?

The whole UK, including all of South Ayrshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

How much does bath resealing cost in Hayhill?

We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can landlords book you?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

What bath resealing costs

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

  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What we’re called out for in Hayhill

Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

The things customers generally mention when they call are:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Stained silicone

What your quote should include

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
