Bath resealing near Boothgate

About our bath resealing in Boothgate

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. We regularly repair baths, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are black spots in the silicone and silicone smeared on tiles.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  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. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

Questions from Boothgate

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We will give you the curing time, usually around a day.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Why it’s worth resealing in Boothgate

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. 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 photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Boothgate as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

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

What affects the price in Boothgate

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
