Bath resealing for Englefield homes

How we handle bath resealing in Englefield

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about silicone smeared on tiles and damp near the bath.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

FAQs for Englefield

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Do you work in Englefield?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Englefield and the rest of West Berkshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your RG7 postcode.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What we’re called out for in Englefield

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

The things clients usually mention when they call are:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Unsealed corners
  • An untidy old seal

What your quote should include

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What aftercare is recommended

10 questions to ask before you book

Prices and what affects them

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

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

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging 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.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
