Trusted bath resealing in Elstead

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Bath resealing at your home in Elstead

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Our technicians work on wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about missing sealant behind the taps and a messy previous reseal.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a couple of hours.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

Questions from Elstead

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How long does resealing take?

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

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How long before I can shower?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Prices and what affects them

There is no area surcharge for Elstead. What changes the price is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
