Bath resealing in Exford

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, tidy-up included.

  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. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Exford, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

About our bath resealing in Exford

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are a messy previous reseal and old sealant that looks dirty.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Exford and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is 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 we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Everything repaired in place
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

What your bath or shower is made of matters

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, once the joint is completely dry.

Exford: your questions answered

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Can you quote from pictures?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Common problems we fix in Exford

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

What to look for in a quote

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material

We price from pictures 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.

Landlord and trade work in Exford

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
