Bath resealing near Portlethen

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A fixed quote before you book

Bath resealing at your home in Portlethen

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about old sealant that looks dirty and gaps by the taps.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repairs by material

Baths

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hidden water damage

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

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Portlethen, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

What affects the price in Portlethen

We do not charge extra for travel to Portlethen. The price comes down to:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What we are called out for in Portlethen

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
