Why it’s worth resealing in Elton

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

About our bath resealing in Elton

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. We work on wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps by the taps and a messy previous reseal.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Repairs by material

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A flexing bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

When to call us in Elton

Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • An untidy old seal
  • Damp near the bath
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How your room will be protected

Choosing a repair company

How we price bath resealing

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take around two hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  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

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

FAQs for Elton

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

How long does a reseal take?

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

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

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

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
