Bath resealing in Chellington

Questions from Chellington

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Do you come to Chellington?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Chellington. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Chellington.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Bath resealing in Chellington without replacing anything

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you’re dealing with damp near the bath and stained silicone, we can normally put it right.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Signs you need bath resealing in Chellington

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Damp near the bath
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Black mould in the sealant

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How the colour is matched
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

Why it’s worth resealing in Chellington

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Read our pricing.

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
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Chellington

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

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

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

Baths

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

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
