Bath resealing in Digswell

Common questions in Digswell

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Will it make a mess?

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

What does bath resealing cost?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

How long before I can shower?

Typically after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

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

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Normally because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Digswell. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Bath resealing at your home in Digswell

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are unsealed corners and leaks at the edges.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a couple of hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A flexing bath
  • Hidden water damage

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

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What affects the price in Digswell

There’s no area surcharge for Digswell. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

What we’re called out for in Digswell

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Sealant that is split or lifting

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How your room will be protected
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
