About our bath resealing in Kirkhill

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you are dealing with stained silicone and unsealed corners, we can usually put it right, on basins & vanity units, baths and wet rooms alike.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Kirkhill and across Highland.

Prices and what affects them

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Air the room after use
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Avoid scraping the joints, 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.

Why it’s worth resealing in Kirkhill

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Questions from Kirkhill

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Are there extra charges for Kirkhill?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

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

Why does mould come back so fast?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Do you cover Kirkhill?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Kirkhill and the rest of Highland. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

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.

Advice

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
