How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What bath resealing costs

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

When to call us in Newlandsmuir

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Damp near the bath
  • An untidy old seal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Before you book anyone

  • Aftercare advice
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price covers travel

FAQs for Newlandsmuir

Do you come to Newlandsmuir?

We do. We send a technician to Newlandsmuir for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
