Bath resealing for Ballingdon homes

How we handle bath resealing in Ballingdon

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you’re dealing with silicone smeared on tiles and stained silicone, we can help, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ballingdon as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ballingdon. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

What affects the price in Ballingdon

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repairs by material

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Hidden water damage
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
