Why it’s worth resealing in Bessingham

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Prices and what affects them

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • 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 entire bath or shower, we can price the job without visiting.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes about two hours for a bath. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What we are called out for in Bessingham

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • An untidy old seal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What prep work is covered
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How your room will be protected

10 questions to ask before you book

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Air the room after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Keep the joints dry

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

FAQs for Bessingham

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

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

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

How long does resealing take?

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