Bath resealing at your home in Gainsborough

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are old sealant that looks dirty and missing sealant behind the taps.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Questions from Gainsborough

Is it messy?

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

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Gainsborough?

Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DN21 postcode.

What information do you need?

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

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do you cover Gainsborough?

We do. We send a technician to Gainsborough for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gainsborough

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.

For anyone letting property in or around Gainsborough, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

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.

Why it’s worth resealing in Gainsborough

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

See our prices page.

How we price bath resealing

There is no area surcharge for Gainsborough. What changes the price is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Common problems we fix in Gainsborough

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Damp near the bath

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Aftercare advice
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

For a price in Gainsborough, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Advice

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A flexing bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Hidden water damage
