Bath resealing for Felton homes

Do you need bath resealing in Felton?

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Common reasons people in Felton contact us include:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Unsealed corners
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

About our bath resealing in Felton

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are old sealant that looks dirty and black mould in the sealant.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Baths

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

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back

For a price in Felton, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Felton: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What areas do you cover?

All of Northumberland, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Do you work in Felton?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Felton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

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

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Keep the joints dry

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What we cannot put right

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
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

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

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Felton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
