Bath resealing in Rickarton

Bath resealing in Rickarton without replacing anything

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and people most frequently call us about gaps by the taps and mould you can’t clean out.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Let steam out after showers

Run 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. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Rickarton questions

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Why does mould come back so fast?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you cover the entire of Aberdeenshire?

The entire UK, including all of Aberdeenshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Take a look at our prices page.

Can I fix it myself?

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 do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

When to call us in Rickarton

Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Common reasons people in Rickarton contact us are:

  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Leaks at the edges

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Rickarton, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rickarton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
