Bath resealing in Kirkcudbright

Repairs by material

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

About our bath resealing in Kirkcudbright

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Whether it’s damp near the bath and unsealed corners, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kirkcudbright

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Kirkcudbright questions

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes around two hours. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint 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

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DG6 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
