Trusted bath resealing in South Alloa

How we price bath resealing

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

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How we handle bath resealing in South Alloa

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s gaps by the taps and black mould in the sealant, we can usually put it right.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in South Alloa and across Stirling.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  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.

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

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