Need bath resealing in Cann Common?

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Bath resealing in Cann Common without replacing anything

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s gaps by the taps and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can help, on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

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

Common questions in Cann Common

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

How much does bath resealing cost in Cann Common?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

When to call us in Cann Common

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Unsealed corners
  • An untidy old seal
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Leaks at the edges

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How to care for the finish

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it

If you’re in Cann Common and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

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

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes around two hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  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, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cann Common as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
