Bath resealing in Burton

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Bath resealing at your home in Burton

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours. Common call-outs are for a messy previous reseal and black mould in the sealant, on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Resealing in Burton: why it matters

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Everything repaired in place

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

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

What affects the price in Burton

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Burton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Burton, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  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

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Questions from Burton

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Typically after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.

What we’re called out for in Burton

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Black spots in the silicone

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.

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