Bath resealing in Cousland

Bath resealing in Cousland without replacing anything

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you’re dealing with damp near the bath and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can usually put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

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

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Read our pricing.

How we price bath resealing

We don’t charge extra for travel to Cousland. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

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 will get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Cousland, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Your questions about bath resealing in Cousland

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Cousland?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Are you accredited?

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

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Hollow or loose tiles

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

Materials we repair

  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take around two hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it 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.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

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, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Do you need bath resealing in Cousland?

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Stained silicone
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Gaps by the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the room is protected while they work
