The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Advice

About our bath resealing in Eakring

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Our technicians work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are old sealant that looks dirty and missing sealant behind the taps.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Eakring: your questions answered

How long will it take?

A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

How long does silicone take to cure?

We will give you the curing time, normally around a day.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Common problems we fix in Eakring

Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Common reasons people in Eakring contact us include:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Damp near the bath
  • Unsealed corners

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Aftercare advice
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

How to compare quotes

Landlord and trade work in Eakring

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

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What bath resealing costs

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match

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

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
