Bath resealing near Eastmoor

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

How we handle bath resealing in Eastmoor

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Our technicians work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about silicone coming away from the tiles and discoloured, yellow sealant.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the area is dry

Choosing a repair company

Eastmoor questions

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do I need to be at home?

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

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Do you work in Eastmoor?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Eastmoor. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Do you cover the entire of Wakefield?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What affects the price in Eastmoor

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
