About our bath resealing in Kirktonhill

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Our repair technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about a messy previous reseal and unsealed corners.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Kirktonhill as everywhere else we work.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take about two hours for a bath.

  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. 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.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

What affects the price in Kirktonhill

We don’t charge extra for travel to Kirktonhill. The price comes down to:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Signs you need bath resealing in Kirktonhill

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Gaps by the taps
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • When it can be used again

Kirktonhill questions

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Kirktonhill?

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

Are there extra charges for Kirktonhill?

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

Will you leave a mess?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Is it worth repairing rather 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.

Why it’s worth resealing in Kirktonhill

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A flexing bath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
