Bath resealing near Cotteridge

What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Movement in the bath or tray

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Cotteridge

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

About our bath resealing in Cotteridge

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths, and the jobs we see most are silicone smeared on tiles and unsealed corners.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Common questions in Cotteridge

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

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

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

How long does a reseal take?

Typically a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Do you charge for travel?

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Why it’s worth resealing in Cotteridge

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

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

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Common problems we fix in Cotteridge

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

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

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Mould you can’t clean out

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

If you manage property in Cotteridge, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes about two hours for a bath, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  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

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

What affects the price in Cotteridge

There is no area surcharge for Cotteridge. What changes the price is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
