Bath resealing at your home in Fairbourne Heath

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We are frequently asked to fix a messy previous reseal and missing sealant behind the taps, on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and baths.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Questions from Fairbourne Heath

What does bath resealing cost?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

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

Do you cover Fairbourne Heath?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Fairbourne Heath. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • A flexing bath
  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Fairbourne Heath

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

Why it’s worth resealing in Fairbourne Heath

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow around two hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

How we price bath resealing

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your ME17 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
