Book bath resealing in Drayton

What bath resealing costs

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower

For a price in Drayton, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Bath resealing at your home in Drayton

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Typical jobs include discoloured, yellow sealant and unsealed corners, in wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes around two hours. The room is left tidy.

  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. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

Drayton questions

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.

How much does bath resealing cost in Drayton?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Do you work in Drayton?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Drayton. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Drayton.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Drayton

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

What we are called out for in Drayton

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What preparation is included
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Drayton

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

For anyone letting property in or around Drayton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Air the room after use

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Why it’s worth resealing in Drayton

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
