Bath resealing near Lochinver

Lochinver questions

Are there extra charges for Lochinver?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you come to Lochinver?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Lochinver and the rest of Highland. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Is my repair covered?

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

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Bath resealing in Lochinver, done in place

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths, and common reasons people contact us are black spots in the silicone and discoloured, yellow sealant.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What we cannot put right

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

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

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

Materials we work on in Lochinver

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for about two hours for a bath. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  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. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Repairs by material

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, for the same reason.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Let steam out after showers

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

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Common problems we fix in Lochinver

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

People normally call us when they notice something like this:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
