Bath resealing for Pitlessie homes

Bath resealing in Pitlessie without replacing anything

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for water getting behind the bath or tray and silicone smeared on tiles, on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Pitlessie and across Fife.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

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

Why reseal now?

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

See our prices page.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Prices and what affects them

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

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.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Air the room after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean

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

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

Pitlessie: your questions answered

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Fife, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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.

Common problems we fix in Pitlessie

Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • A messy previous reseal

Questions to ask before booking

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How changes to the job are handled

What a repair cannot fix

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
