Bath resealing in Fen Drayton

Bath resealing at your home in Fen Drayton

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Common call-outs are for gaps in the seal and a messy previous reseal, on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A flexing bath
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

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

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price bath resealing

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

  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Fen Drayton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Why reseal now?

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Fen Drayton questions

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Are there extra charges for Fen Drayton?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time, normally around a day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What we do, step by step

Once we are 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. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Advice

Signs you need bath resealing in Fen Drayton

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

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Stained silicone
  • An untidy old seal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Leaks at the edges

What your quote should include

  • How to care for the finish
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • When it can be used again
  • How your room will be protected
