Bath resealing in Lockerbie

How we handle bath resealing in Lockerbie

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Whether it’s gaps in the seal and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can typically put it right.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Lockerbie and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Lockerbie questions

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Are there extra charges for Lockerbie?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Signs you need bath resealing in Lockerbie

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Damp near the bath
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Stained silicone

What to look for in a quote

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice
  • How your room will be protected
  • When it can be used again

Choosing a repair company

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  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 if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

What affects the price in Lockerbie

We charge the same across the UK, including Lockerbie. What changes the price is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Lockerbie. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
