How we handle bath resealing in Berners Roding

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Common call-outs are for black mould in the sealant and an untidy old seal, in wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What affects the price in Berners Roding

We charge the same across the UK, including Berners Roding. What changes the price is:

  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

FAQs for Berners Roding

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

What happens after I send pictures?

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

Do you cover Berners Roding?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Berners Roding. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Related advice

When we’d advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

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