Bath resealing for Barton Mills homes

Bath resealing in Barton Mills without replacing anything

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for an untidy old seal and black mould in the sealant, in basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Landlord and trade work in Barton Mills

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Common problems we fix in Barton Mills

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Damp near the bath
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

What to look for in a quote

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Aftercare advice
  • How your room will be protected
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Barton Mills

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

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it

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 give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a couple of hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

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

Shower trays

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

Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Barton Mills. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Barton Mills: your questions answered

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Do you cover Barton Mills?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Barton Mills. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

Are there extra charges for Barton Mills?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Air the room after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
