Bath resealing in Marykirk

How we handle bath resealing in Marykirk

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for old sealant that looks dirty and an untidy old seal, in basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.

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

What bath resealing costs

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Marykirk. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes around two hours. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Marykirk

How soon can you come?

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

Do I need to be at home?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Will there be a smell?

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

Why does mould come back so fast?

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

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No extra charge for your area
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

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