Questions from Inverkeithing

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Inverkeithing included. There is no extra charge for travel.

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time, typically around a day.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Bath resealing in Inverkeithing without replacing anything

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Common call-outs are for sealant that’s split or lifting and unsealed corners, on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a couple of hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What bath resealing costs

We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Landlord and trade work in Inverkeithing

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
