Repairs by material

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

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

Bath resealing in Kirknewton without replacing anything

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and people most frequently call us about unsealed corners and stained silicone.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Air the room after use
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

How we price bath resealing

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Common questions in Kirknewton

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you cover the whole of West Lothian?

The entire UK, including all of West Lothian. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

How much does bath resealing cost in Kirknewton?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

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

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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.

Do you need bath resealing in Kirknewton?

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Look out for these signs:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Stained silicone
  • An untidy old seal
  • Mould you cannot clean out

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Who turns up on the day
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Aftercare advice

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
