Bath resealing for Blackford homes

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

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

About our bath resealing in Blackford

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for missing sealant behind the taps and silicone smeared on tiles, on wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A flexing bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access

Do you need bath resealing in Blackford?

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • An untidy old seal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

Questions to ask before booking

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

10 questions to ask before booking

Questions from Blackford

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What information do you need?

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

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you cover Blackford?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Blackford for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Resealing in Blackford: why it matters

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • No need to remove anything
  • No extra charge for your area

Read our pricing.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Air the room after use
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

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

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What affects the price in Blackford

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
