Bath resealing near Liberton

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How we handle bath resealing in Liberton

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. If you are dealing with discoloured, yellow sealant and unsealed corners, we can typically put it right, on baths, wet rooms and basins & vanity units alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

What we are called out for in Liberton

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Unsealed corners
  • A messy previous reseal

Before you book anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How the colour is matched
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Landlords, agents and businesses in Liberton

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Hidden water damage
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

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

Materials we work on in Liberton

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • No need to remove anything

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode

Most clients in Liberton get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
