Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Air the room after use
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Bath resealing in Tolvaddon, done in place

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with black spots in the silicone and leaks at the edges, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

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

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint 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

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Tolvaddon questions

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Tolvaddon. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Are there extra charges for Tolvaddon?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

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

Shower trays

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Landlord and trade work in Tolvaddon

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Tolvaddon clients choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

What bath resealing costs

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Tolvaddon. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
