Bath resealing in Kirkton

Bath resealing in Kirkton without replacing anything

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We’re frequently asked to fix leaks at the edges and silicone coming away from the tiles, across kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes about two hours for a bath.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

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.

Advice

Questions from Kirkton

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Do you work in Kirkton?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Kirkton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Are there extra charges for Kirkton?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Which areas do you work in?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What we can’t put right

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

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Hollow or loose tiles

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Kirkton

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

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
