Trusted bath resealing in Lochardil

About our bath resealing in Lochardil

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Whether it’s silicone coming away from the tiles and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can typically put it right, on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures alike.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Highland.

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Work done at your home or business

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

FAQs for Lochardil

How much does bath resealing cost in Lochardil?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Highland, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What affects the price in Lochardil

There’s no area surcharge for Lochardil. The price reflects:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

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, so the joint is at its widest.

Landlord and trade work in Lochardil

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lochardil as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

When we’d advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

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

Materials we work on in Lochardil

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

How it works

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
