Kyleakin questions

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you come to Kyleakin?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Kyleakin and the rest of Highland. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Bath resealing in Kyleakin, done in place

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Whether it’s mould you can’t clean out and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can help, on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Common problems we fix in Kyleakin

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Leaks at the edges

Comparing quotes

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How long it needs to cure

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Why it’s worth resealing in Kyleakin

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Read our full price list.

What we cannot put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A flexing bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

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

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
