Bath resealing for Laurieston homes

Landlord and trade work in Laurieston

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

How we handle bath resealing in Laurieston

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. If you’re dealing with water getting behind the bath or tray and stained silicone, we can help.

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

Prices and what affects them

You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One price list for the whole UK

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  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, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Advice

Common questions in Laurieston

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Laurieston included. Travel is included in the price.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Typically after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Are there extra charges for Laurieston?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Do you work in Laurieston?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Laurieston from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
