Bath resealing for Drakewalls homes

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

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

How we handle bath resealing in Drakewalls

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops using mould-resistant silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours. Whether it’s silicone smeared on tiles and gaps in the seal, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Do you need bath resealing in Drakewalls?

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Mould you can’t clean out

Before you book anyone

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

10 questions to ask before booking

Landlords, agents and businesses in Drakewalls

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

How we price bath resealing

You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take around two hours, tidy-up included.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What information do you need?

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A flexing bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Drakewalls

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

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
