Bath resealing in Church

Bath resealing in Church, done in place

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about gaps in the seal and water getting behind the bath or tray.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

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

Materials we repair

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

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

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

What affects the price in Church

There’s no charge for travel to Church. The price comes down to:

  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

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 you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Church questions

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

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

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

When to call us in Church

In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Black spots in the silicone

What to look for in a quote

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the colour is matched
  • What prep work is covered

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
