How we handle bath resealing in Lochdon

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We are frequently asked to fix silicone smeared on tiles and discoloured, yellow sealant, across baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Argyll and Bute.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the area is dry

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Argyll and Bute and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A flexing bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

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

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Choosing a repair company

Your questions about bath resealing in Lochdon

Can landlords book you?

Which areas do you work in?

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

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Lochdon?

Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PA64 postcode.

Do you come to Lochdon?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Lochdon. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

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

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

What bath resealing costs

Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
