Bath resealing for Towie homes

How we handle bath resealing in Towie

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed using mould-resistant silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. We work on baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most often call us about discoloured, yellow sealant and black mould in the sealant.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Towie and across Aberdeenshire.

What bath resealing costs

You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Towie. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

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

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.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Your questions about bath resealing in Towie

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Towie?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Towie is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Aberdeenshire.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

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.

What we cannot put right

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

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A flexing bath

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Air the room after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Common problems we fix in Towie

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Black spots in the silicone

Comparing quotes

  • How the colour is matched
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Choosing a repair company

Resealing in Towie: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
