Bath resealing in Strachan

Bath resealing at your home in Strachan

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are old sealant that looks dirty and gaps by the taps.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

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.

Strachan questions

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Typically after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How we price bath resealing

There’s no charge for travel to Strachan. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take around two hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job.

Repairs by material

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

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

When we would advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we’re called out for in Strachan

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

The things clients typically mention when they call are:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Stained silicone
  • Unsealed corners
  • A messy previous reseal

What to look for in a quote

  • Aftercare advice

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
