Bath resealing in Uphall Station

Bath resealing at your home in Uphall Station

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. If you’re dealing with black spots in the silicone and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Uphall Station and across West Lothian.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hollow or loose tiles

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

What we work on

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

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 usually cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes around two hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access

Uphall Station: your questions answered

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

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

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Why it’s worth resealing in Uphall Station

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How we price bath resealing

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

When to call us in Uphall Station

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

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

  • Damp near the bath
  • Stained silicone
  • An untidy old seal
  • Gaps by the taps
