What bath resealing costs

There is no area surcharge for Coates. What changes the price is:

  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

About our bath resealing in Coates

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. If you’re dealing with mould you can’t clean out and gaps by the taps, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Common problems we fix in Coates

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Damp near the bath
  • Gaps by the taps

Before you book anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who will actually do the work

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Coates

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Coates as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Coates: your questions answered

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What does bath resealing cost?

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

Is my repair covered?

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

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you cover Coates?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Coates and the rest of Cambridgeshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Open a window after bathing

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow around two hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your PE7 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

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