How to compare quotes

Bath resealing in Billingborough without replacing anything

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. If you are dealing with silicone smeared on tiles and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What bath resealing costs

There is no charge for travel to Billingborough. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash

If you’re in Billingborough and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes around two hours in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
