Bath resealing near Emmington

How we handle bath resealing in Emmington

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We are frequently asked to fix an untidy old seal and unsealed corners, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Emmington

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

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Common questions in Emmington

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

  • Nothing taken out or refitted

How we price bath resealing

We do not charge extra for travel to Emmington. The price comes down to:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

We price from photos 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.

10 questions to ask before booking

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow around two 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. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
