Bath resealing in Ellastone

Prices and what affects them

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

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

Bath resealing in Ellastone, done in place

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. If you are dealing with black spots in the silicone and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can usually put it right, on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Common questions in Ellastone

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

How long does resealing take?

Normally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

When to call us in Ellastone

Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Stained silicone
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

What to look for in a quote

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ellastone

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why Ellastone clients choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No extra charge for your area

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
