How we handle bath resealing in Cross Lanes

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Whether it’s an untidy old seal and black spots in the silicone, we can typically put it right.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

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

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Cross Lanes: your questions answered

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How much does bath resealing cost in Cross Lanes?

We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Cross Lanes and the rest of Dorset. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely 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.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DT2 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

What we can’t put right

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

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What bath resealing costs

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

When to call us in Cross Lanes

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

The things clients normally mention when they call are:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Sealant that is split or lifting

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
