Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

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

How we handle bath resealing in Bourne

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. If you’re dealing with gaps in the seal and black spots in the silicone, we can help, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What bath resealing costs

We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Your questions about bath resealing in Bourne

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Bourne.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

For landlords and businesses

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

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Bourne

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • An untidy old seal

Before booking anyone

  • Aftercare advice
  • When it can be used again
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

10 questions to ask before booking

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for around two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint 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, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
