What bath resealing costs

There’s no charge for travel to Kirkliston. The price comes down to:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Kirkliston, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repairs by material

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

When to call us in Kirkliston

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Unsealed corners

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How to look after the finish
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

Why it’s worth resealing in Kirkliston

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Common questions in Kirkliston

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it messy?

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

Is there any odour?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
