Choosing a repair company

How we handle bath resealing in Bogside

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most often call us about old sealant that looks dirty and black spots in the silicone.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bogside

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bogside use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Air the room after use
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Keep the joints dry

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Why it’s worth resealing in Bogside

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One price list for the entire UK

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What bath resealing costs

We don’t charge extra for travel to Bogside. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas

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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Common questions in Bogside

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Are you accredited?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You’ll get the curing time from us, generally around a day.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take around two hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
