Bath resealing at your home in Johnstonebridge

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and common reasons people contact us are missing sealant behind the taps and sealant that’s split or lifting.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

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

What affects the price in Johnstonebridge

There’s no charge for travel to Johnstonebridge. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Questions from Johnstonebridge

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.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you cover Johnstonebridge?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Johnstonebridge from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a couple of hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Johnstonebridge customers choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Take a look at our prices page.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 frequently lifts.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Do you need bath resealing in Johnstonebridge?

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

People generally call us after spotting something like this:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Damp near the bath
  • A messy previous reseal

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What protection goes down before work starts
