Bath resealing in Chorleywood

How we handle bath resealing in Chorleywood

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Whether it’s black spots in the silicone and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can help, whatever the material.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Why it’s worth resealing in Chorleywood

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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 frequently lifts.

What affects the price in Chorleywood

We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

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

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Chorleywood: your questions answered

How long does resealing take?

Usually a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Can new silicone go over old?

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

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

How long before I can shower?

Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Are there extra charges for Chorleywood?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Landlord and trade work in Chorleywood

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

Do you need bath resealing in Chorleywood?

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Common reasons people in Chorleywood contact us include:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Unsealed corners
  • Gaps in the seal

Questions to ask before booking

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How the colour is matched

Our hiring checklist

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Store bottles on a shelf

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

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