Bath resealing for North Queensferry homes

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a couple of hours. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  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. 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, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How we handle bath resealing in North Queensferry

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Whether it’s discoloured, yellow sealant and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can generally put it right.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Resealing in North Queensferry: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No extra charge for your area

North Queensferry: your questions answered

Do you come to North Queensferry?

We do. Repair technicians travel to North Queensferry from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Do you need bath resealing in North Queensferry?

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

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

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Gaps by the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

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

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
