Different materials, different repairs

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

About our bath resealing in Blacon

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. We work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about leaks at the edges and mould you can’t clean out.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What affects the price in Blacon

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

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

Landlord and trade work in Blacon

For anyone letting property in or around Blacon, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Blacon questions

How much does bath resealing cost in Blacon?

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

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How long will it take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

The process

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow about two hours for a bath. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  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
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

Aftercare tips

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

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Why reseal now?

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
