About our bath resealing in Nemphlar

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Common call-outs are for black spots in the silicone and discoloured, yellow sealant, in kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

The process

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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.

What affects the price in Nemphlar

There is no area surcharge for Nemphlar. The price reflects:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your ML11 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in South Lanarkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Nemphlar: your questions answered

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

How long does silicone take to cure?

You’ll get the curing time from us, generally around a day.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

How much does bath resealing cost in Nemphlar?

Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Why reseal now?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

  • An untidy old seal
  • Stained silicone
  • Gaps by the taps

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • How the colour is matched
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A flexing bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

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

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
