Bath resealing near Elmer

Bath resealing at your home in Elmer

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Common call-outs are for gaps by the taps and damp near the bath, across kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A flexing bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Hidden water damage

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

FAQs for Elmer

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How long does silicone take to cure?

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

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How long does resealing take?

Generally a couple of hours, plus curing time.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Elmer use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

How we price bath resealing

You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Elmer, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Why it’s worth resealing in Elmer

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
