Bath resealing for Crofton homes

Bath resealing in Crofton without replacing anything

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. We are often asked to fix silicone smeared on tiles and damp near the bath, across basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Common questions in Crofton

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you cover Crofton?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Crofton. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Crofton and the rest of Cumbria. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What do you need from me?

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

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Open a window after bathing

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

Do you need bath resealing in Crofton?

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

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Sealant that is split or lifting

Before booking anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • When it can be used again
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Movement in the bath or tray

  • Wet rooms
  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

How we price bath resealing

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it

For a price in Crofton, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Why reseal now?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
