Bath resealing in Lochawe

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Air the room after use
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

How we handle bath resealing in Lochawe

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and people most frequently call us about mould you can’t clean out and missing sealant behind the taps.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What a repair can’t fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Resealing in Lochawe: why it matters

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Lochawe. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Lochawe clients choose us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Common questions in Lochawe

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your PA33 postcode.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What bath resealing costs

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What we are called out for in Lochawe

In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

People usually call us after spotting something like this:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Leaks at the edges

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to compare quotes

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

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

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take around two hours.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
