Your questions about bath resealing in Newbigging

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

How long does silicone take to cure?

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

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow about two hours for a bath, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Resealing in Newbigging: why it matters

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Newbigging. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Newbigging clients choose us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Do you need bath resealing in Newbigging?

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

What affects the price in Newbigging

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Landlord and trade work in Newbigging

If you manage property in Newbigging, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
