Bath resealing in Uig without replacing anything

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s a messy previous reseal and leaks at the edges, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Uig: your questions answered

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you come to Uig?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Uig from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 pictures.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Uig

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Uig use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Highland and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

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

Materials we work on in Uig

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

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

Signs you need bath resealing in Uig

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • An untidy old seal

Before you book anyone

  • What prep work is covered
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What aftercare is recommended

10 questions to ask before booking

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Use the extractor fan

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

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is

Compared with replacing, 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.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
