Bath resealing in Bolton upon Dearne

Bath resealing in Bolton upon Dearne without replacing anything

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 gaps by the taps, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What affects the price in Bolton upon Dearne

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Bolton upon Dearne

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What prep work is covered
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

10 questions to ask before you book

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A flexing bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Air the room after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Bolton upon Dearne questions

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
