Bath resealing in Elberton

Bath resealing in Elberton without replacing anything

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are discoloured, yellow sealant and water getting behind the bath or tray.

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

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

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours, including clearing up.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we’re called out for in Elberton

In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Stained silicone

Questions to ask before you book

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How to compare quotes

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Air the room after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

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

Your questions about bath resealing in Elberton

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Do you cover Elberton?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Elberton and the rest of South Gloucestershire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What affects the price in Elberton

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
