Bath resealing near Baffins

Bath resealing at your home in Baffins

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We are frequently asked to fix silicone coming away from the tiles and damp near the bath, across wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What we are called out for in Baffins

In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Unsealed corners
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Questions to ask before booking

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long it needs to cure

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your PO3 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Hidden water damage
  • A flexing bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

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

Surfaces we repair

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

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Common questions in Baffins

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How much does bath resealing cost in Baffins?

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

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Do I have to be there?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

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

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
