Bath resealing for Ayot St Lawrence homes

Bath resealing at your home in Ayot St Lawrence

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are missing sealant behind the taps and a messy previous reseal.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Ayot St Lawrence

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we can’t put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Ayot St Lawrence: your questions answered

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How long does a reseal take?

Typically a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Do you come to Ayot St Lawrence?

We do. We send a technician to Ayot St Lawrence for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

What bath resealing costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

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 will come back with a fixed figure.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

What we are called out for in Ayot St Lawrence

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Sealant that is split or lifting

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • When it can be used again

10 questions to ask before booking

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
