Book bath resealing in Arkley

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

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

Bath resealing in Arkley, done in place

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed. Most jobs take a couple of hours, plus curing time. Whether it’s sealant that’s split or lifting and mould you can’t clean out, we can generally put it right, on baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures alike.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Common problems we fix in Arkley

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

What your quote should include

Our hiring checklist

What bath resealing costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

FAQs for Arkley

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you work in Arkley?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Arkley for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

How it works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

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

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Why it’s worth resealing in Arkley

Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

See our prices page.

What we can’t put right

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

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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