Bath resealing near Smyrton

Bath resealing in Smyrton, done in place

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. We work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people contact us are black spots in the silicone and silicone coming away from the tiles.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in South Ayrshire.

Landlord and trade work in Smyrton

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For anyone letting property in or around Smyrton, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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

Common problems we fix in Smyrton

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • A messy previous reseal

Questions from Smyrton

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

How long does silicone take to cure?

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

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

How long will it take?

Usually a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Do you charge for travel?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hidden water damage
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Smyrton

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

What bath resealing costs

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

How to look after the repair

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

  • Air the room after use
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

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

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes around two hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  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. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
