Bath resealing in Capel

How we handle bath resealing in Capel

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. We work on wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about unsealed corners and silicone smeared on tiles.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Surrey.

Capel questions

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Capel. Prices do not change with location.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

What affects the price in Capel

We do not charge extra for travel to Capel. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send pictures for a quote

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

We price from photos so you do not 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’ll get a fixed figure back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

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

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Hidden water damage
