Bath resealing for Elson homes

Bath resealing at your home in Elson

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Typical jobs include stained silicone and a messy previous reseal, across wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A flexing bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

What bath resealing costs

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Elson. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Elson, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

When to call us in Elson

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Stained silicone
  • Damp near the bath
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Comparing quotes

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • When it can be used again
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

Why reseal now?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One visit for most repairs
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Questions from Elson

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

The process

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a couple of 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. 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Open a window after bathing

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
