Bath resealing near Old Kilpatrick

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Work done at your home or business
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

About our bath resealing in Old Kilpatrick

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you’re dealing with silicone coming away from the tiles and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can normally put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units alike.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Common questions in Old Kilpatrick

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How much does bath resealing cost in Old Kilpatrick?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What bath resealing costs

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job without visiting.

When to call us in Old Kilpatrick

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the area is dry

Advice

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

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

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
