Book bath resealing in Northfield

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Aberdeen and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

About our bath resealing in Northfield

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We regularly repair baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are silicone smeared on tiles and gaps by the taps.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Northfield as everywhere else we work.

Do you need bath resealing in Northfield?

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Stained silicone

10 questions to ask before booking

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Air the room after use
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower

For a price in Northfield, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

FAQs for Northfield

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you come to Northfield?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Northfield and the rest of Aberdeen. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will there be a smell?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

How long before I can shower?

Typically after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
