Bath resealing in Colne without replacing anything

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Common call-outs are for gaps by the taps and silicone coming away from the tiles, on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

The process

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow around two hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  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. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Colne questions

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How do I book?

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

Do you cover the entire of Cambridgeshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Colne included. Travel is included in the price.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

What we’re called out for in Colne

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

Common reasons people in Colne contact us are:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Gaps in the seal

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

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

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Air the room after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean

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

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What bath resealing costs

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • The material

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
