About our bath resealing in Erwarton

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Whether it’s damp near the bath and old sealant that looks dirty, we can help, on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Landlord and trade work in Erwarton

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Do you need bath resealing in Erwarton?

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Questions to ask before you book

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How soon you can use it again

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  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. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

FAQs for Erwarton

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Do you work in Erwarton?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Erwarton. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Erwarton?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No need to remove anything
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

What bath resealing costs

We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

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

We don’t 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.

How to get a fixed price

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
