Bath resealing in Peterculter

Bath resealing at your home in Peterculter

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, plus curing time. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are old sealant that looks dirty and silicone smeared on tiles.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Your questions about bath resealing in Peterculter

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

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

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Peterculter use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

How to compare quotes

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow about two hours for a bath.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price
