How we handle bath resealing in Port Elphinstone

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. If you’re dealing with mould you can’t clean out and silicone smeared on tiles, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Port Elphinstone as everywhere else we work.

Common questions in Port Elphinstone

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

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

Why does mould come back so fast?

Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Do you cover the entire of Aberdeenshire?

Across the UK, so Port Elphinstone is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Are there extra charges for Port Elphinstone?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

Take a look at our pricing.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

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

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

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

What we work on

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

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  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. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Baths

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
