Bath resealing in Cruckton

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes around two hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How we handle bath resealing in Cruckton

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you’re dealing with an untidy old seal and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can normally put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths alike.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Signs you need bath resealing in Cruckton

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Mould you can’t clean out

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Landlord and trade work in Cruckton

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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

What bath resealing costs

There’s no charge for travel to Cruckton. The price comes down to:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

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.

Why reseal now?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Questions from Cruckton

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you work in Cruckton?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Cruckton. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
