Book bath resealing in Rhu

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Bath resealing in Rhu, done in place

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you’re dealing with sealant that’s split or lifting and silicone smeared on tiles, we can normally put it right.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Argyll and Bute.

Questions from Rhu

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

How long before I can shower?

You will get the curing time from us, normally around a day.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

How much does bath resealing cost in Rhu?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you come to Rhu?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Rhu. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Are there extra charges for Rhu?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take about two hours for a bath, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Work for landlords and builders

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

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What bath resealing costs

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower

If you’re in Rhu and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Common problems we fix in Rhu

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Stained silicone
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • An untidy old seal

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
