How we handle bath resealing in Killochyett

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Whether it’s unsealed corners and black mould in the sealant, we can generally put it right, on wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units alike.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in the Scottish Borders.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A flexing bath
  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Common questions in Killochyett

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do you cover the whole of the Scottish Borders?

All of the Scottish Borders, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

How much does bath resealing cost in Killochyett?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

How soon can you come?

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

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Are there extra charges for Killochyett?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Why it’s worth resealing in Killochyett

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

What affects the price in Killochyett

There is no charge for travel to Killochyett. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Killochyett, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in the Scottish Borders and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
