Bath resealing near Caterham

Bath resealing in Caterham, done in place

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, in a neat, continuous bead. We are frequently asked to fix silicone coming away from the tiles and missing sealant behind the taps, in kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Caterham use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Prices and what affects them

There is no charge for travel to Caterham. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

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.

The process

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  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. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Questions from Caterham

Do you work in Caterham?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Caterham from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You will get the curing time from us.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

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