Bath resealing in Clifton

Bath resealing in Clifton, done in place

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We regularly repair wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are black spots in the silicone and silicone smeared on tiles.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Clifton and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Movement in the bath or tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Your questions about bath resealing in Clifton

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How much does bath resealing cost in Clifton?

Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Are there extra charges for Clifton?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

How long will it take?

A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

What do you need from me?

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

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do you need bath resealing in Clifton?

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Unsealed corners

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Use the extractor fan

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

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

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

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes around two hours. The room is left tidy.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  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

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 typically the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What affects the price in Clifton

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

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
