Bath resealing near Cummersdale

How we price bath resealing

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Bath resealing in Cummersdale, done in place

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are a messy previous reseal and leaks at the edges.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

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, with the joint fully dried first.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take around two hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Air the room after use
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly 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 will say if you need a builder or plumber.
