About our bath resealing in Bonaly

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Whether it’s silicone coming away from the tiles and stained silicone, we can help.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

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

What we work on

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

Signs you need bath resealing in Bonaly

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

People typically call us when they notice something like this:

  • Stained silicone
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Damp near the bath

Questions to ask before booking

  • How your room will be protected
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the price covers travel

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow around two hours.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. 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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Work done at your home or business

What affects the price in Bonaly

There is no area surcharge for Bonaly. What changes the price is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Where you are, by postcode

For a price in Bonaly, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Common questions in Bonaly

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do you work in Bonaly?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Bonaly from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
