Trusted bath resealing in Langbank

Bath resealing at your home in Langbank

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for leaks at the edges and an untidy old seal, on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Langbank: your questions answered

Why does mould come back so fast?

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

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your PA14 postcode.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Inverclyde, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Landlord and trade work in Langbank

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

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Do you need bath resealing in Langbank?

Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

The things customers typically mention when they call are:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • An untidy old seal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Gaps in the seal

10 questions to ask before you book

Why it’s worth resealing in Langbank

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

What bath resealing costs

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size

For a price in Langbank, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How it works

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 work takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, 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

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
