For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

About our bath resealing in Bara

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Typical jobs include water getting behind the bath or tray and silicone smeared on tiles, on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

What bath resealing costs

You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Bara. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Your questions about bath resealing in Bara

How much does bath resealing cost in Bara?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you come to Bara?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Bara. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Are there extra charges for Bara?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hollow or loose tiles

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

Materials we repair

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

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

  • Work done at your home or business
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
