Bath resealing at your home in Bearton

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are old sealant that looks dirty and an untidy old seal.

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

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

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

What we work on

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

Signs you need bath resealing in Bearton

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Common reasons people in Bearton contact us include:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • A messy previous reseal

Questions to ask before booking

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

Landlord and trade work in Bearton

For anyone letting property in or around Bearton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What affects the price in Bearton

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

  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match

We do not add 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.

How to get a fixed price

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

We price from photos 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 you’ll get a fixed figure back.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes around two hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  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

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
