Bath resealing near Cobhall Common

Bath resealing in Cobhall Common, done in place

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with unsealed corners and mould you can’t clean out, we can generally put it right.

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

Questions from Cobhall Common

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is there any odour?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you cover the whole of Herefordshire?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Cobhall Common. Prices do not change with location.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Signs you need bath resealing in Cobhall Common

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Damp near the bath

What to look for in a quote

  • How your room will be protected
  • Who turns up on the day
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How to care for the finish

10 questions to ask before you book

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours, tidy-up included.

  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. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Air the room after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep the joints dry

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Cobhall Common, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cobhall Common use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Hollow or loose tiles

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

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

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