Bath resealing in Elsted, done in place

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for mould you can’t clean out and stained silicone, across basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Elsted: your questions answered

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Air the room after use
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Elsted

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Why it’s worth resealing in Elsted

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Everything repaired in place

Do you need bath resealing in Elsted?

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Sealant that is split or lifting

Before you book anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow around two hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
