How we price bath resealing

There is no charge for travel to Cross. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Cross

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cross use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Why it’s worth resealing in Cross

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Repairs by material

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

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

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Cross

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

The process

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

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.

Your questions about bath resealing in Cross

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Are you accredited?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
