Common problems we fix in Rhynie

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Damp near the bath
  • Gaps by the taps
  • A messy previous reseal

Comparing quotes

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What aftercare is recommended

Bath resealing in Rhynie, done in place

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We regularly repair baths, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people contact us are missing sealant behind the taps and black spots in the silicone.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Rhynie questions

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We’ll give you the curing time, usually around a day.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Air the room after use
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Landlord and trade work in Rhynie

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rhynie as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Prices and what affects them

You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
