Bath resealing for Eastgate homes

How we handle bath resealing in Eastgate

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Whether it’s gaps by the taps and damp near the bath, we can typically put it right, on baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Why it’s worth resealing in Eastgate

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why Eastgate clients choose us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

See our prices page.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Let steam out after showers

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

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

Eastgate: your questions answered

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Eastgate and the rest of Peterborough. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Common problems we fix in Eastgate

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

People generally call us when they notice something like this:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Stained silicone
  • Mould you cannot clean out

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How your room will be protected

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes around two hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

What affects the price in Eastgate

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

For landlords and businesses

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

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Eastgate use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
