Bath resealing in Drax without replacing anything

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you’re dealing with unsealed corners and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can usually put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What we are called out for in Drax

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Damp near the bath

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes around two hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  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

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

What affects the price in Drax

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Drax questions

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A flexing bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Why reseal now?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Same prices wherever you are
