Bath resealing for Crofthandy homes

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Bath resealing at your home in Crofthandy

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Typical jobs include old sealant that looks dirty and a messy previous reseal, across kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Your questions about bath resealing in Crofthandy

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Crofthandy. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can landlords book you?

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

Do I have to be there?

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

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

How much does bath resealing cost in Crofthandy?

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

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Signs you need bath resealing in Crofthandy

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Damp near the bath
  • An untidy old seal

What your quote should include

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Read our full price list.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

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

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price bath resealing

Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
