How we handle bath resealing in Corrie Common

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair baths, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about water getting behind the bath or tray and stained silicone.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Landlord and trade work in Corrie Common

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What bath resealing costs

Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Corrie Common. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash

For a price in Corrie Common, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Common problems we fix in Corrie Common

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Stained silicone
  • Damp near the bath
  • An untidy old seal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

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. The job generally runs to a couple of hours, tidy-up included.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

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
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

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.

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Use the extractor fan

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

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

Questions from Corrie Common

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Can tenants book a repair?

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