Bath resealing in Lumsden, done in place

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Common call-outs are for gaps by the taps and damp near the bath, in kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A flexing bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a couple of hours. We leave the room clean.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Related advice

Your questions about bath resealing in Lumsden

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We’ll give you the curing time, typically around a day.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Do you cover the entire of Aberdeenshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Lumsden included. Travel is included in the price.

Prices and what affects them

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Something in shot to show the size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

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

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

When to call us in Lumsden

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Clients normally contact us about:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Unsealed corners
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Before booking anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
