Bath resealing in Shieldaig

Bath resealing in Shieldaig without replacing anything

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s gaps in the seal and leaks at the edges, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hidden water damage

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

What we work on

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

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shieldaig 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 carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Air the room after use
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Shieldaig questions

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

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

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you work in Shieldaig?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Shieldaig and the rest of Highland. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

How we price bath resealing

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

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes around two hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
