Bath resealing in Bigby

What affects the price in Bigby

Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A photo taken from further back

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Bigby, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

About our bath resealing in Bigby

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you’re dealing with an untidy old seal and old sealant that looks dirty, we can help.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

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.

The process

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Everything repaired in place

See our prices page.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Bigby questions

How long does resealing take?

Normally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Lincolnshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

How long does silicone take to cure?

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

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

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

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you cover Bigby?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Bigby. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A flexing bath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
