Need bath resealing in Astley Cross?

Landlord and trade work in Astley Cross

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

How we handle bath resealing in Astley Cross

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for mould you can’t clean out and damp near the bath, on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Astley Cross and across Worcestershire.

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

10 questions to ask before booking

Astley Cross: your questions answered

Can you quote from pictures?

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

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Worcestershire.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Astley Cross

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

How we price bath resealing

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Resealing in Astley Cross: why it matters

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Astley Cross. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Same prices wherever you are

See our pricing.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours, including clearing up.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
