Why it’s worth resealing in Coxford

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Bath resealing at your home in Coxford

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. We are frequently asked to fix gaps by the taps and old sealant that looks dirty, across basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Don’t 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.

Coxford: your questions answered

How much does bath resealing cost in Coxford?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How long will it take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

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.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a couple of hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
