Bath resealing near Bockhanger

Bath resealing in Bockhanger, done in place

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Common call-outs are for stained silicone and black mould in the sealant, in shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Bockhanger and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Hidden water damage

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Baths
  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

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.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep the joints dry

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

For landlords and businesses

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

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

When to call us in Bockhanger

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Customers typically contact us about:

  • Stained silicone
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • An untidy old seal
  • Leaks at the edges

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How to care for the finish
  • How your room will be protected
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Your questions about bath resealing in Bockhanger

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you cover Bockhanger?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Bockhanger from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
