Bath resealing in Scotland

About our bath resealing in Scotland

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Whether it’s an untidy old seal and unsealed corners, we can generally put it right.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

When a repair is not the answer

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

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

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, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

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

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Let steam out after showers

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Landlord and trade work in Scotland

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

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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.

Signs you need bath resealing in Scotland

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Stained silicone
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What preparation is included
  • How your room will be protected

Our hiring checklist

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why Scotland clients choose us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Scotland questions

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

How much does bath resealing cost in Scotland?

We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you cover the whole of Leeds?

All of Leeds, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
