Bath resealing at your home in Brackenhill

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We work on basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about stained silicone and a messy previous reseal.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Landlord and trade work in Brackenhill

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For anyone letting property in or around Brackenhill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

  • An untidy old seal
  • Unsealed corners

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What happens if they find more damage

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Brackenhill

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Questions from Brackenhill

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Repairs by material

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

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

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

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, and the work is guaranteed.

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.
