Bath resealing in Sundrum without replacing anything

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Typical jobs include gaps by the taps and black mould in the sealant, across shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Sundrum and across South Ayrshire.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep the joints dry

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

FAQs for Sundrum

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

How long does resealing take?

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

Do you cover the whole of South Ayrshire?

Across the UK, and that includes Sundrum. Prices don’t change with location.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How soon can you come?

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

Why reseal now?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • An untidy old seal
  • Unsealed corners

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for around two hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

What bath resealing costs

Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hidden water damage
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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