Bath resealing in Gamston

Bath resealing at your home in Gamston

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. If you’re dealing with missing sealant behind the taps and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can usually put it right, on wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Gamston and across Nottinghamshire.

What affects the price in Gamston

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • A photo taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Gamston

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Leaks at the edges

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We’ll give you the curing time.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gamston

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

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take about two hours for a bath, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the area is dry

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Resealing in Gamston: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

  • One visit for most repairs
