Bath resealing near Boulton

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Bath resealing in Boulton, done in place

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you’re dealing with mould you can’t clean out and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take around two hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Advice

Boulton questions

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How we price bath resealing

There is no charge for travel to Boulton. The price comes down to:

  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Boulton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Signs you need bath resealing in Boulton

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • An untidy old seal
  • Black spots in the silicone

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • When it can be used again
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What prep work is covered

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

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