Bath resealing near Airton

Repairs by material

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Bath resealing in Airton, done in place

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. If you’re dealing with black mould in the sealant and an untidy old seal, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Air the room after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint 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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Why it’s worth resealing in Airton

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

FAQs for Airton

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

How long will it take?

A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What does bath resealing cost?

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

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What bath resealing costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job without visiting.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
