Bath resealing for Eaton homes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Eaton

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Bath resealing in Eaton, done in place

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s silicone coming away from the tiles and stained silicone, we can help, on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A flexing bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Shower trays & enclosures

Common problems we fix in Eaton

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Customers typically contact us about:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Black spots in the silicone

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

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.

Prices and what affects them

There is no charge for travel to Eaton. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CW12 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Eaton: your questions answered

Do you cover Eaton?

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

How long does silicone take to cure?

We will give you the curing time.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

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

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

How much does bath resealing cost in Eaton?

We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your CW12 postcode.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes around two hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
