DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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 usually cheaper.

Signs you need bath resealing in Armitage

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Damp near the bath

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Armitage, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Armitage use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the area is dry

Advice

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hidden water damage
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Basins & vanity units
  • Shower trays & enclosures

Armitage questions

What does bath resealing cost?

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

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Store bottles on a shelf

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

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
