Need bath resealing in Kilmichael Glassary?

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we handle bath resealing in Kilmichael Glassary

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Typical jobs include mould you can’t clean out and an untidy old seal, in wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Argyll and Bute.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Air the room after use

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes around two hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kilmichael Glassary as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We don’t add 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.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Questions from Kilmichael Glassary

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Are there extra charges for Kilmichael Glassary?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Kilmichael Glassary included. Travel is included in the price.

Why it’s worth resealing in Kilmichael Glassary

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
