Your questions about bath resealing in Allexton

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you work in Allexton?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Allexton. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Normally because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

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

How we handle bath resealing in Allexton

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. If you are dealing with old sealant that looks dirty and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Allexton as everywhere else we work.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Let steam out after showers

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price bath resealing

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Landlord and trade work in Allexton

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

For anyone letting property in or around Allexton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Do you need bath resealing in Allexton?

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Stained silicone
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
