Bath resealing in Anacrehill

How we handle bath resealing in Anacrehill

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 work on baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are gaps in the seal and missing sealant behind the taps.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Prices and what affects them

We charge the same across the UK, including Anacrehill. The price reflects:

  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DE6 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Your questions about bath resealing in Anacrehill

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Are there extra charges for Anacrehill?

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

Do you come to Anacrehill?

We do. We send a technician to Anacrehill for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Common problems we fix in Anacrehill

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Damp near the bath
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Stained silicone

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Anacrehill use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Advice

Resealing in Anacrehill: why it matters

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
