Bath resealing near Wester Broom

How we handle bath resealing in Wester Broom

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s black spots in the silicone and unsealed corners, we can usually put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units alike.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Wester Broom and across Edinburgh.

How we price bath resealing

There’s no charge for travel to Wester Broom. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, tidy-up included.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Common problems we fix in Wester Broom

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

Look out for any of the following:

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

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What preparation is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

FAQs for Wester Broom

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you come to Wester Broom?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Wester Broom and the rest of Edinburgh. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will it make a mess?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

How do I book?

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

How much does bath resealing cost in Wester Broom?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
