Bath resealing for Ullapool homes

Prices and what affects them

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Bath resealing in Ullapool, done in place

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. We regularly repair baths, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are black spots in the silicone and leaks at the edges.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When to call us in Ullapool

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Stained silicone
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

10 questions to ask before you book

Why it’s worth resealing in Ullapool

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A flexing bath

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

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

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.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

Your questions about bath resealing in Ullapool

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can landlords book you?

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

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is my repair covered?

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