Bath resealing for Flempton homes

About our bath resealing in Flempton

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. We work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and people most often call us about an untidy old seal and black spots in the silicone.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Common questions in Flempton

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

How long does a reseal take?

Typically a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What affects the price in Flempton

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

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

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode

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

When to call us in Flempton

In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Common reasons people in Flempton contact us are:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • An untidy old seal

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Aftercare advice
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes around two hours.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  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. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean

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

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
