Bath resealing at your home in Polmont

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are missing sealant behind the taps and water getting behind the bath or tray.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How we price bath resealing

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your FK2 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Air the room after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

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

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What we are called out for in Polmont

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Damp near the bath
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

Questions to ask before you book

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether they match the colour on site

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes around two hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

FAQs for Polmont

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How much does bath resealing cost in Polmont?

We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

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