Bath resealing in Costock

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Keep the joints dry

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

About our bath resealing in Costock

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our technicians work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most often call us about sealant that’s split or lifting and gaps by the taps.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take around two hours.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

What to look for in a quote

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Costock, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Why it’s worth resealing in Costock

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Costock customers choose us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Same prices wherever you are

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

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

How we price bath resealing

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Costock, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Costock: your questions answered

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
