Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Bath resealing in Alkham, done in place

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are unsealed corners and stained silicone.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours, tidy-up included.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Signs you need bath resealing in Alkham

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Unsealed corners
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

How we price bath resealing

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing 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. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

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

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Questions from Alkham

Are there extra charges for Alkham?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Air the room after use
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.

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.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

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

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

What we work on

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

Why it’s worth resealing in Alkham

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
