How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  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

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can

How we handle bath resealing in Blakestones

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Common call-outs are for leaks at the edges and stained silicone, across wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Blakestones questions

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you cover Blakestones?

We do. Technicians travel to Blakestones from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Repairs by material

Baths

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

What affects the price in Blakestones

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Blakestones. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Do you need bath resealing in Blakestones?

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

People usually call us when they notice something like this:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Unsealed corners
  • An untidy old seal

Before you book anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Resealing in Blakestones: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
