Questions from Scottow

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

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

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Generally because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • A flexing bath
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

How we price bath resealing

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • The material

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

If you’re in Scottow and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

Why it’s worth resealing in Scottow

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

When to call us in Scottow

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

The things clients usually mention when they call include:

  • Stained silicone
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Aftercare advice
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who turns up on the day
