Bath resealing at your home in Tom nan Ragh

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s old sealant that looks dirty and damp near the bath, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

  • A flexing bath

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

Your questions about bath resealing in Tom nan Ragh

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Tom nan Ragh?

We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your PA23 postcode.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes around two hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Prices and what affects them

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your PA23 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
