Bath resealing in Elkesley

About our bath resealing in Elkesley

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s sealant that’s split or lifting and mould you can’t clean out, we can help, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms alike.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

The process

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Why reseal now?

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We leave the room as we found it

How we price bath resealing

We charge the same across the UK, including Elkesley. The price reflects:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
