Bath resealing in Awkley

Bath resealing at your home in Awkley

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths, and people most frequently call us about leaks at the edges and stained silicone.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Sinks and worktops

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

Awkley questions

How much does bath resealing cost in Awkley?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you come to Awkley?

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

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Awkley. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 will not last.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

Related advice

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Air the room after use

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Awkley

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
