Bath resealing for Scotter homes

How we handle bath resealing in Scotter

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Typical jobs include missing sealant behind the taps and an untidy old seal, in baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on 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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

How we price bath resealing

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Scotter. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One visit for most repairs

Scotter: your questions answered

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

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

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You will get the curing time from us, generally around a day.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A flexing bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Open a window after bathing

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

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