Book bath resealing in Hillhead

What bath resealing costs

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Bath resealing in Hillhead without replacing anything

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. If you’re dealing with leaks at the edges and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

  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.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

What a repair cannot fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A flexing bath
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Air the room after use

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Common problems we fix in Hillhead

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

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
