About our bath resealing in East Carleton

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. If you are dealing with a messy previous reseal and black mould in the sealant, we can help, whatever the material.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Common questions in East Carleton

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

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

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep the joints dry

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

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What we are called out for in East Carleton

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Common reasons people in East Carleton contact us include:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Gaps by the taps
  • An untidy old seal

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

Landlord and trade work in East Carleton

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
