Bath resealing in Chopwell

How we price bath resealing

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

How we handle bath resealing in Chopwell

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our repair technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and people most often call us about stained silicone and silicone coming away from the tiles.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Chopwell questions

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

How do I book?

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

Are there extra charges for Chopwell?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You will get the curing time from us, normally around a day.

Is my repair covered?

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

Common problems we fix in Chopwell

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

Customers normally contact us about:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Unsealed corners
  • Damp near the bath
  • Gaps in the seal

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your NE17 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
