Need bath resealing in Burgham?

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

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

Bath resealing in Burgham, done in place

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Common call-outs are for black mould in the sealant and stained silicone, across baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Burgham and across Northumberland.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What we’re called out for in Burgham

In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Stained silicone
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Leaks at the edges

Choosing a repair company

Repairs by material

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.

Prices and what affects them

There’s no charge for travel to Burgham. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hidden water damage

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

Materials we repair

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

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Questions from Burgham

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
