How we handle bath resealing in Ardtun

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include water getting behind the bath or tray and stained silicone, in basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Work for landlords and builders

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

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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

When to call us in Ardtun

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • An untidy old seal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Damp near the bath

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who turns up on the day
  • When it can be used again
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

How we price bath resealing

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How it works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for around two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

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

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Ardtun questions

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Ardtun is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you work in Ardtun?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Ardtun from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How much does bath resealing cost in Ardtun?

Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Why it’s worth resealing in Ardtun

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. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
