Bath resealing in Portsoy

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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

Bath resealing in Portsoy, done in place

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about silicone smeared on tiles and water getting behind the bath or tray.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Portsoy

Common problems we fix in Portsoy

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Leaks at the edges

Our hiring checklist

Where we work around Portsoy

Portsoy is about 10 miles east of Buckie, in Aberdeenshire. We agree a date that works for you, and you will know when to expect us, so you are not left waiting in all day. Portsoy is one of 161 towns and villages in Aberdeenshire where we work.

Jobs in AB45 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. From South High Street, North High Street and Main Street or a nearby road, we can come to you. You’ll find Portsoy on the A98 and B9019, which makes it straightforward to reach. Close by, we cover Sandend (2 miles west), Fordyce (2 miles south-west), Boyndie (4 miles south-east), Ladysbridge (4 miles east) and Whitehills (4 miles east). Further out, we also cover Turriff (13 miles south-east), Banff (6 miles east), Macduff (7 miles east), Aberchirder (9 miles south) and Gardenstown (13 miles east). Remote and island addresses take a little more planning, so it’s best to call first.

How we price bath resealing

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Common questions in Portsoy

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

How much does bath resealing cost in Portsoy?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you cover the entire of Aberdeenshire?

Across the UK, and that includes Portsoy. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep bottles off the joints

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Landlord and trade work in Portsoy

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Portsoy as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Why reseal now?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Read our pricing.

How it works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

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 you are under no obligation.
