Bath resealing for East Guldeford homes

About our bath resealing in East Guldeford

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. If you’re dealing with missing sealant behind the taps and stained silicone, we can typically put it right.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Common questions in East Guldeford

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How much does bath resealing cost in East Guldeford?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do you need bath resealing in East Guldeford?

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • An untidy old seal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Before booking anyone

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in East Guldeford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Resealing in East Guldeford: why it matters

Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for East Guldeford. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hidden water damage

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

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take about two hours for a bath, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
