Bath resealing for Calverton homes

FAQs for Calverton

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

What information do you need?

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

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you cover the whole of Nottinghamshire?

Across the UK, so Calverton is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How we handle bath resealing in Calverton

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. We work on baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are damp near the bath and mould you can’t clean out.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Calverton

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

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Read our prices page.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Calverton

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Gaps by the taps

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
