Bath resealing near Claxton

Common problems we fix in Claxton

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

About our bath resealing in Claxton

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. If you are dealing with mould you can’t clean out and an untidy old seal, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

What bath resealing costs

You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • The material

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Claxton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Claxton, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a couple of hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice

Why reseal now?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Claxton use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Questions from Claxton

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
