Bath resealing near Inveresk

Bath resealing in Inveresk without replacing anything

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Typical jobs include mould you can’t clean out and damp near the bath, in shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What affects the price in Inveresk

We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your EH21 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Your questions about bath resealing in Inveresk

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do you cover the whole of East Lothian?

All of East Lothian, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Advice

Common problems we fix in Inveresk

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Unsealed corners

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Air the room after use
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

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

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
