Bath resealing for Calton Lees homes

Your questions about bath resealing in Calton Lees

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

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

How long before I can shower?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Derbyshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

About our bath resealing in Calton Lees

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are unsealed corners and mould you can’t clean out.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs

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

Common problems we fix in Calton Lees

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Gaps in the seal
  • An untidy old seal

Choosing a repair company

Resealing in Calton Lees: why it matters

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

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

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Calton Lees as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Dry the seal after bathing

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.
