Bath resealing at your home in Cainscross

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. If you are dealing with leaks at the edges and old sealant that looks dirty, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Dry the seal after bathing

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

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Resealing in Cainscross: why it matters

Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Cainscross questions

Does someone need to be in?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

How long does resealing take?

Generally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Can you quote from photos?

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

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you cover Cainscross?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Cainscross from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What affects the price in Cainscross

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price 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

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Cainscross, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Cainscross

Landlord and trade work in Cainscross

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

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
