Bath resealing at your home in Embo

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are an untidy old seal and leaks at the edges.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A flexing bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Where you are, by postcode

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  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

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Air the room after use

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Signs you need bath resealing in Embo

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Look out for these signs:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • An untidy old seal
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Our hiring checklist

Landlord and trade work in Embo

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Embo: your questions answered

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.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How long will it take?

Generally a couple of hours, plus curing time.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
