Need bath resealing in Etwall?

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

About our bath resealing in Etwall

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are old sealant that looks dirty and an untidy old seal.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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.

When to call us in Etwall

Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Gaps in the seal
  • An untidy old seal

Our hiring checklist

Etwall questions

How much does bath resealing cost in Etwall?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there any odour?

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

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Etwall as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around Etwall, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A flexing bath

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

Materials we work on in Etwall

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

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

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

What affects the price in Etwall

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match

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 photos for a quote

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
