Bath resealing near Edge

About our bath resealing in Edge

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Our technicians work on baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are water getting behind the bath or tray and mould you can’t clean out.

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

Your questions about bath resealing in Edge

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your GL6 postcode.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Why does mould come back so fast?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

The process

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Edge, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Edge as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

What bath resealing costs

You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For a price in Edge, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Common problems we fix in Edge

Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Let steam out after showers

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
