Bath resealing near Whitlawburn

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Keep the joints dry

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

About our bath resealing in Whitlawburn

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Typical jobs include missing sealant behind the taps and sealant that’s split or lifting, on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

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

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take around two hours, including clearing up.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How we price bath resealing

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

  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Why it’s worth resealing in Whitlawburn

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Whitlawburn clients choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

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

What we work on

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Whitlawburn

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
