Trusted bath resealing in Eastbury

Bath resealing in Eastbury without replacing anything

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We are frequently asked to fix missing sealant behind the taps and silicone smeared on tiles, in basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas

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

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Your questions about bath resealing in Eastbury

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Do you work in Eastbury?

We do. Technicians travel to Eastbury from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What we are called out for in Eastbury

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Leaks at the edges
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • When it can be used again
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  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. 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

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep the joints dry

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
