Bath resealing near Crumlin

Bath resealing at your home in Crumlin

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and the jobs we see most are black spots in the silicone and silicone smeared on tiles.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Crumlin as everywhere else we work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Why reseal now?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One visit for most repairs
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Aftercare tips

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

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Air the room after use
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Crumlin

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

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

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to around two hours, tidy-up included.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

What bath resealing costs

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Crumlin. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Most clients in Crumlin get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Questions from Crumlin

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the curing time from us, normally around a day.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

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

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
