Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Let steam out after showers

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

How we price bath resealing

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes around two hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

For anyone letting property in or around Lennie, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Your questions about bath resealing in Lennie

How soon can you come?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Edinburgh.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What areas do you cover?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Common problems we fix in Lennie

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

The things customers normally mention when they call are:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Stained silicone

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What protection goes down before work starts
