Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, plus curing time. Whether it’s a messy previous reseal and missing sealant behind the taps, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

What bath resealing costs

Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

When to call us in Woodend

In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Unsealed corners
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Sealant that is split or lifting

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

Common questions in Woodend

Does someone need to be in?

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

Will you leave a mess?

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

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We will give you the curing time, usually around a day.

Do you cover the whole of West Lothian?

Everywhere in the UK, Woodend included. Travel is included in the price.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

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.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Keep the joints dry

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

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

The process

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Ensure the area is dry

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on 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.

When we would advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair
