Trusted bath resealing in Booth

Bath resealing at your home in Booth

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. Our repair technicians work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are old sealant that looks dirty and an untidy old seal.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Signs you need bath resealing in Booth

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Mould you cannot clean out

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How your room will be protected
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How changes to the job are handled

Our hiring checklist

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Common questions in Booth

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Are there extra charges for Booth?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Booth?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Typically after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

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

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you come to Booth?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Booth from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
