Bath resealing in An t-Ob, done in place

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are leaks at the edges and a messy previous reseal.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

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

Materials we work on in An t-Ob

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Resealing in An t-Ob: why it matters

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One visit for most repairs

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled 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.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

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

Common problems we fix in An t-Ob

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

What your quote should include

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

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

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in An t-Ob use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Air the room after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
