Bath resealing in Chicksands

Bath resealing in Chicksands without replacing anything

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Common call-outs are for missing sealant behind the taps and mould you can’t clean out, in wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Open a window after bathing

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Hospitality businesses 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.

Chicksands: your questions answered

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Chicksands?

We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SG17 postcode.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you come to Chicksands?

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hidden water damage

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Chicksands

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

How we price bath resealing

There is no area surcharge for Chicksands. The price reflects:

  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Chicksands, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the area is dry

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
