Signs you need bath resealing in Springfield

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

How we handle bath resealing in Springfield

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are a messy previous reseal and gaps in the seal.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dumfries and Galloway.

What affects the price in Springfield

There’s no area surcharge for Springfield. What changes the price is:

  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

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

Shower trays

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

Why it’s worth resealing in Springfield

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
