Bath resealing near Badby

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Air the room after use
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

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.

How we handle bath resealing in Badby

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s a messy previous reseal and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Badby

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What affects the price in Badby

You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

Your questions about bath resealing in Badby

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is it messy?

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

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you need bath resealing in Badby?

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How the colour is matched

How to compare quotes

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
