What we are called out for in Kirkconnel

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

The things customers generally mention when they call include:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • An untidy old seal

Our hiring checklist

Bath resealing at your home in Kirkconnel

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Typical jobs include sealant that’s split or lifting and damp near the bath, on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hidden water damage

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Kirkconnel

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

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.

How we price bath resealing

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Kirkconnel. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DG4 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Kirkconnel: your questions answered

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you cover Kirkconnel?

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

Is there a guarantee?

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