Bath resealing for Parkhouse homes

Bath resealing in Parkhouse without replacing anything

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Common call-outs are for an untidy old seal and silicone coming away from the tiles, on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Parkhouse

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, 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 Glasgow and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes around two hours. We leave the room clean.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  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. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Take a look at our full price list.

Do you need bath resealing in Parkhouse?

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Unsealed corners
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Black spots in the silicone

Questions to ask before you book

  • Aftercare advice
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if they find more damage

How to compare quotes

How we price bath resealing

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Parkhouse questions

How long before I can shower?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

How long will it take?

Normally a couple of hours, plus curing time.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
