About our bath resealing in Inverkip

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Whether it’s silicone coming away from the tiles and unsealed corners, we can help, whatever the material.

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

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Let steam out after showers

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Inverclyde and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Your questions about bath resealing in Inverkip

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

How long does silicone take to cure?

We will give you the curing time, usually around a day.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you cover the whole of Inverclyde?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

When we would advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Inverkip

  • Wet rooms
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Shower trays & enclosures

  • Baths

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Why it’s worth resealing in Inverkip

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How we price bath resealing

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Inverkip, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
