Bath resealing in Nairn

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

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

When to call us in Nairn

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

10 questions to ask before you book

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

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

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Air the room after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Why reseal now?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Nairn. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What affects the price in Nairn

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

Most customers in Nairn get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

FAQs for Nairn

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you cover Nairn?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Nairn. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Is there any odour?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can
