What bath resealing costs

We charge the same across the UK, including West Calder. What changes the price is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

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

Your questions about bath resealing in West Calder

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You’ll get the curing time from us, typically around a day.

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of West Lothian. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Landlords, agents and businesses in West Calder

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West Calder as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

When to call us in West Calder

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Leaks at the edges

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A flexing bath
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
