When we’d advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

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

Bath resealing at your home in Edlington

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are leaks at the edges and black mould in the sealant.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Edlington

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Lincolnshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What bath resealing costs

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Common questions in Edlington

Can you quote from photos?

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

Will it make a mess?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

When to call us in Edlington

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

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • An untidy old seal
  • Damp near the bath
  • Black mould in the sealant

Before booking anyone

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
