Bath resealing in Alvecote

Bath resealing at your home in Alvecote

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people contact us are black spots in the silicone and an untidy old seal.

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

When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

When to call us in Alvecote

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Stained silicone
  • Leaks at the edges

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Alvecote

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Alvecote as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Questions from Alvecote

Will there be a smell?

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

Do you cover the entire of Staffordshire?

We cover the whole UK, including Alvecote and the rest of Staffordshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you work in Alvecote?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Alvecote and the rest of Staffordshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

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

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

How long does a reseal take?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.

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

Resealing in Alvecote: why it matters

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
