What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Bath resealing at your home in Coryton

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 black mould in the sealant and gaps in the seal, we can help, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repairs by material

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

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

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Most clients in Coryton get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Use the extractor fan

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

FAQs for Coryton

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How long before I can shower?

Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

How much does bath resealing cost in Coryton?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you quote from pictures?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
