Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Bath resealing in Arundel, done in place

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Our technicians work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths, and the jobs we see most are gaps in the seal and black spots in the silicone.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Landlord and trade work in Arundel

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Questions from Arundel

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Arundel?

We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What bath resealing costs

There’s no charge for travel to Arundel. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

When to call us in Arundel

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Stained silicone
  • Damp near the bath
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
