Bath resealing at your home in Ecton

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. We are frequently asked to fix gaps in the seal and silicone smeared on tiles, on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A flexing bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Ecton

  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

Ecton: your questions answered

Do you cover the entire of Northamptonshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Ecton included. Travel is included in the price.

Will there be a smell?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We will give you the curing time, normally around a day.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. 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 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. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Signs you need bath resealing in Ecton

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Gaps in the seal
  • An untidy old seal
  • Stained silicone

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if they find more damage

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ecton

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
