Need bath resealing in Upper Coll?

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

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

Bath resealing in Upper Coll, done in place

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Typical jobs include leaks at the edges and old sealant that looks dirty, on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

What bath resealing costs

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.

Send photos for a quote

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

If you’re in Upper Coll and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes around two hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the area is dry

How to get a price

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

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Give the seal a regular clean

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

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

Questions from Upper Coll

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How long before I can shower?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Common problems we fix in Upper Coll

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

What your quote should include

  • What prep work is covered
  • How to look after the finish
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How your room will be protected
