About our bath resealing in Durdar

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with damp near the bath and an untidy old seal, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A flexing bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • No need to remove anything
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Prices and what affects them

You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CA2 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Get a quote

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Durdar

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For anyone letting property in or around Durdar, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, 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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common problems we fix in Durdar

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

The things clients typically mention when they call are:

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

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How your room will be protected
