Bath resealing for Scarinish homes

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

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

Baths

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

About our bath resealing in Scarinish

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Our technicians work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are old sealant that looks dirty and gaps in the seal.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

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

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Read our pricing.

What bath resealing costs

We charge the same across the UK, including Scarinish. What changes the price is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Most customers in Scarinish get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Scarinish questions

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

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

When to call us in Scarinish

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

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Stained silicone
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Black mould in the sealant
