How we handle bath resealing in East Harlsey

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. Our technicians work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are water getting behind the bath or tray and old sealant that looks dirty.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Landlords, agents and businesses in East Harlsey

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What affects the price in East Harlsey

We do not charge extra for travel to East Harlsey. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why us?

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Everything repaired in place

Read our prices page.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for around two hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
