  • Hidden water damage
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we handle bath resealing in Windygates

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Typical jobs include black mould in the sealant and old sealant that looks dirty, on basins & vanity units, baths and wet rooms.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Windygates and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What bath resealing costs

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Windygates. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Windygates

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Fife and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Air the room after use

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

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

Why it’s worth resealing in Windygates

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Your questions about bath resealing in Windygates

Do you cover the entire of Fife?

We cover the entire UK, including Windygates and the rest of Fife. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
