Bath resealing near Bletsoe

Bath resealing in Bletsoe without replacing anything

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Typical jobs include gaps by the taps and mould you can’t clean out, in basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Dry the seal after bathing

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Hidden water damage
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

FAQs for Bletsoe

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

How long does resealing take?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the area is dry

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we are called out for in Bletsoe

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Black mould in the sealant

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Who will actually do the work

Choosing a repair company

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Work done at your home or business
