Trusted bath resealing in Bentley

Bath resealing at your home in Bentley

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 a messy previous reseal and stained silicone, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Common questions in Bentley

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Typically because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.

Will it make a mess?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Bentley?

We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Bentley, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Use the extractor fan

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

When to call us in Bentley

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

The things clients generally mention when they call are:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Unsealed corners

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

10 questions to ask before booking

What bath resealing costs

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A flexing bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
