How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take around two hours, including clearing up.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Black mould in the sealant

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Scotby use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Your questions about bath resealing in Scotby

How much does bath resealing cost in Scotby?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will you leave a mess?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Usually because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Do I need to be at home?

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

How long does silicone take to cure?

Generally after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
