About our bath resealing in Tain

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Common call-outs are for water getting behind the bath or tray and discoloured, yellow sealant, in wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A flexing bath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Tain: your questions answered

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What does bath resealing cost?

Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

What we are called out for in Tain

  • An untidy old seal
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Leaks at the edges

Before booking anyone

10 questions to ask before you book

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, 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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

How we price bath resealing

There is no charge for travel to Tain. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

If you manage property in Tain, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Why it’s worth resealing in Tain

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. We do not add 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.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Fixed prices from your photos
