How we handle bath resealing in Edge End

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are water getting behind the bath or tray and mould you can’t clean out.

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

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Air the room after use
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Common problems we fix in Edge End

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Unsealed corners
  • Black spots in the silicone

Our hiring checklist

What bath resealing costs

There’s no area surcharge for Edge End. The price reflects:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

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

Shower trays

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

Edge End: your questions answered

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
