Book bath resealing in Ebford

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

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

Bath resealing in Ebford, done in place

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We’re frequently asked to fix leaks at the edges and an untidy old seal, across shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Ebford as everywhere else we work.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Air the room after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Common questions in Ebford

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

How long will it take?

Normally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

What bath resealing costs

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • A flexing bath
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

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

Materials we repair

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

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Ebford clients choose us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Common problems we fix in Ebford

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Stained silicone
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Leaks at the edges

Questions to ask before you book

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What aftercare is recommended
