Bath resealing near Knightswood

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

How we handle bath resealing in Knightswood

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. We work on baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most often call us about water getting behind the bath or tray and silicone smeared on tiles.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Choosing a repair company

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

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

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.

Knightswood: your questions answered

How long before I can shower?

Generally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How long will it take?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

Advice

Resealing in Knightswood: why it matters

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Knightswood. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • One visit for most repairs

Take a look at our prices page.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How we price bath resealing

We do not charge extra for travel to Knightswood. The price comes down to:

  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
