Bath resealing in East Allington

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

About our bath resealing in East Allington

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and people most often call us about sealant that’s split or lifting and a messy previous reseal.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Air the room after use
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

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

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Your questions about bath resealing in East Allington

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, East Allington included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for East Allington. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
