Bath resealing in Awsworth

Bath resealing in Awsworth, done in place

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. If you’re dealing with black spots in the silicone and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can help, on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How we price bath resealing

We charge the same across the UK, including Awsworth. What changes the price is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower

Most customers in Awsworth get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Work for landlords and builders

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.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Air the room after use
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What a repair can’t fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hollow or loose tiles

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

Materials we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Awsworth: your questions answered

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Awsworth.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

We will give you the curing time.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
