About our bath resealing in Burley

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you are dealing with stained silicone and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can help, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

FAQs for Burley

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Burley?

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

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Are there extra charges for Burley?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

How to get a fixed price

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Burley use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

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

Why reseal now?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
