Different materials, different repairs

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

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

Bath resealing in Cold Norton without replacing anything

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Our technicians work on baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are leaks at the edges and unsealed corners.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

For anyone letting property in or around Cold Norton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

How we price bath resealing

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take around two hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  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. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

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

Materials we repair

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

Do you need bath resealing in Cold Norton?

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

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Unsealed corners

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the colour is matched
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • If travel is included in the price
