Bath resealing near Elsworth

How to look after the repair

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

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Air the room after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

How we handle bath resealing in Elsworth

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. We work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths, and the jobs we see most are mould you can’t clean out and silicone smeared on tiles.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Hidden water damage
  • A flexing bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Do you need bath resealing in Elsworth?

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

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • An untidy old seal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What preparation is included

10 questions to ask before you book

Elsworth questions

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

What does bath resealing cost?

Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Are there extra charges for Elsworth?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Elsworth.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes about two hours for a bath, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint 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, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you don’t 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.

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

What bath resealing costs

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CB23 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
