Trusted bath resealing in Chilson

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

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

About our bath resealing in Chilson

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Our repair technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about discoloured, yellow sealant and unsealed corners.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Your questions about bath resealing in Chilson

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How long will it take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Repairs by material

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Landlord and trade work in Chilson

For anyone letting property in or around Chilson, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Common problems we fix in Chilson

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

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

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
