Milton of Balgonie: your questions answered

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your KY7 postcode.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Fife.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Milton of Balgonie and the rest of Fife. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you need bath resealing in Milton of Balgonie?

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Unsealed corners
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Black mould in the sealant

Before you book anyone

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What affects the price in Milton of Balgonie

We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

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

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
