Bath resealing near Barley Green

Bath resealing at your home in Barley Green

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are black spots in the silicone and damp near the bath.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

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

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. 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.

Why Barley Green customers choose us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One visit for most repairs
  • No need to remove anything
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Barley Green

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

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

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

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

What bath resealing costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

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

Common questions in Barley Green

Do you come to Barley Green?

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

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do you charge for travel?

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

How long does a reseal take?

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

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take around two hours.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

If you manage property in Barley Green, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
