Bath resealing in Eastville

Bath resealing in Eastville without replacing anything

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Common call-outs are for water getting behind the bath or tray and gaps in the seal, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Landlord and trade work in Eastville

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Eastville as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours, tidy-up included.

  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. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Questions from Eastville

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Are there extra charges for Eastville?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you cover Eastville?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Eastville from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How quickly can you book me in?

Why it’s worth resealing in Eastville

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What bath resealing costs

There’s no charge for travel to Eastville. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Most clients in Eastville get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we can’t put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Let steam out after showers

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Do you need bath resealing in Eastville?

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Leaks at the edges
