Need bath resealing in Boughton?

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Bath resealing at your home in Boughton

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and common reasons people contact us are silicone smeared on tiles and black mould in the sealant.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Common questions in Boughton

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Boughton and the rest of Nottinghamshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

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

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you cover Boughton?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Boughton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Boughton

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

Signs you need bath resealing in Boughton

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Sealant that is split or lifting

Questions to ask before you book

  • What preparation is included
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What aftercare is recommended

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Boughton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Landlord and trade work in Boughton

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Keep the joints dry

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

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

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
