Common questions in Kingussie

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you work in Kingussie?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Kingussie from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Highland. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

How we handle bath resealing in Kingussie

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are black mould in the sealant and missing sealant behind the taps.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

How we price bath resealing

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material

We price from photos 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.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Dry the seal after bathing

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

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Common problems we fix in Kingussie

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

Look out for these signs:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Stained silicone
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Questions to ask before you book

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kingussie

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

For anyone letting property in or around Kingussie, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
