How bath resealing works in Rotherham

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Typical jobs include leaks at the edges and stained silicone, across wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures.

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  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. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Pricing in Rotherham

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Prices and what affects them

There is no charge for travel to Rotherham. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Should you replace it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely.

What your quote should include

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What preparation is included

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

What we are called out for in Rotherham

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Unsealed corners

Rotherham questions

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
