Bath resealing for Bobbing homes

Bath resealing in Bobbing, done in place

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are missing sealant behind the taps and silicone smeared on tiles.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Bobbing and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Bobbing: your questions answered

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Do you cover Bobbing?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

What affects the price in Bobbing

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit

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.

Send photos for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For a price in Bobbing, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What we’re called out for in Bobbing

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What preparation is included
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

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 take it from there. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, tidy-up included.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  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

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage

Why it’s worth resealing in Bobbing

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bobbing

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For anyone letting property in or around Bobbing, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.

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.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we can’t put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
