Resealing in Seafield: why it matters

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

See our pricing.

10 questions to ask before you book

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  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. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A flexing bath
  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

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

Materials we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Seafield

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What affects the price in Seafield

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Air the room after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Your questions about bath resealing in Seafield

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

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

How long does a reseal take?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

How much does bath resealing cost in Seafield?

Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EH6 postcode.

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 before the end of a tenancy.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
