Bath resealing near Commonside

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Bath resealing in Commonside without replacing anything

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 a new seal stops it. Whether it’s missing sealant behind the taps and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can help, on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Derbyshire.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Your questions about bath resealing in Commonside

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

How we price bath resealing

We charge the same across the UK, including Commonside. What changes the price is:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Air the room after use

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.

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

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 can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hidden water damage
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

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

What we work on

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

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