Bath resealing in Eastgate

About our bath resealing in Eastgate

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Our technicians work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps in the seal and discoloured, yellow sealant.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How to compare quotes

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • No need to remove anything
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Work done at your home or business

See our prices page.

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 regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Do you cover Eastgate?

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What a repair can’t fix

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hollow or loose tiles

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What affects the price in Eastgate

We don’t charge extra for travel to Eastgate. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • The material

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job without visiting.

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Different materials, different repairs

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.
