Bath resealing in Cardeston, done in place

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s gaps by the taps and silicone smeared on tiles, we can typically put it right.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Questions from Cardeston

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

How much does bath resealing cost in Cardeston?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

How long does silicone take to cure?

We will give you the curing time.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Landlord and trade work in Cardeston

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. 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 Cardeston as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hidden water damage
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

We charge the same across the UK, including Cardeston. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • 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 items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Natural light rather than flash

We price from photos 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.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

Common problems we fix in Cardeston

In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Stained silicone
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Gaps by the taps
  • A messy previous reseal

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What aftercare is recommended

How to compare quotes

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
