Bath resealing in Locheport without replacing anything

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are stained silicone and gaps in the seal.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

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, once the joint is completely dry.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Advice

When to call us in Locheport

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Stained silicone
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Gaps by the taps

What your quote should include

  • Aftercare advice
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How your room will be protected

What bath resealing costs

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send photos for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Locheport use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hidden water damage
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Your questions about bath resealing in Locheport

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

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

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Normally because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.

How long will it take?

Usually a couple of hours, plus curing time.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Air the room after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

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