Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Bath resealing in Ellesborough, done in place

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Whether it’s unsealed corners and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can usually put it right, on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Your questions about bath resealing in Ellesborough

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

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.

How long before I can shower?

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

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Repairs by material

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

What bath resealing costs

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A flexing bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Give the seal a regular clean

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

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
