How we handle bath resealing in Ravenstruther

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. If you are dealing with mould you can’t clean out and damp near the bath, we can help.

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

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Use the extractor fan

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes around two hours. We leave the room clean.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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

Common problems we fix in Ravenstruther

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Mould you can’t clean out

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
