Book bath resealing in Battersby

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Bath resealing in Battersby without replacing anything

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. If you’re dealing with sealant that’s split or lifting and a messy previous reseal, we can help, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Battersby and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

People normally call us after spotting something like this:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Gaps in the seal
  • An untidy old seal

Comparing quotes

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site

10 questions to ask before you book

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Questions from Battersby

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes around two hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Landlord and trade work in Battersby

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

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

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep bottles off the joints

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
