How we price bath resealing

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your AB32 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

About our bath resealing in Kirkton of Skene

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Our repair technicians work on baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about silicone coming away from the tiles and black spots in the silicone.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

See our full price list.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Signs you need bath resealing in Kirkton of Skene

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • An untidy old seal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Your questions about bath resealing in Kirkton of Skene

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Kirkton of Skene?

We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Is there any odour?

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

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Use the extractor fan

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled 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.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
