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

About our bath resealing in Catley Lane Head

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Whether it’s an untidy old seal and old sealant that looks dirty, we can normally put it right.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Keep the joints dry

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

When a repair is not the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Catley Lane Head

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

People generally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Damp near the bath
  • Stained silicone
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Catley Lane Head

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Your questions about bath resealing in Catley Lane Head

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Catley Lane Head.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Catley Lane Head?

We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What bath resealing costs

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
