Bath resealing in Torphins

Bath resealing at your home in Torphins

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you’re dealing with discoloured, yellow sealant and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Common problems we fix in Torphins

Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Gaps by the taps

10 questions to ask before booking

Landlord and trade work in Torphins

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairs by material

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Torphins questions

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Generally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

What affects the price in Torphins

We charge the same across the UK, including Torphins. The price reflects:

  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

If you are in Torphins and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
