Bath resealing in Brough

Your questions about bath resealing in Brough

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Brough is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Bath resealing in Brough without replacing anything

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We regularly repair wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are unsealed corners and sealant that’s split or lifting.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  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. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What affects the price in Brough

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Brough

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

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Do you need bath resealing in Brough?

In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • An untidy old seal
  • Black mould in the sealant

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
