Bath resealing for Eggington homes

Bath resealing in Eggington without replacing anything

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include discoloured, yellow sealant and black mould in the sealant, in wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Eggington. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We leave the room as we found it

Take a look at our prices page.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Eggington use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What we’re called out for in Eggington

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Eggington questions

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

How long will it take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Eggington.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do you come to Eggington?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Eggington and the rest of Central Bedfordshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Eggington

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

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow about two hours for a bath.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How we price bath resealing

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
