About our bath resealing in Garden Suburb

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Our technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most often call us about discoloured, yellow sealant and black spots in the silicone.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Questions from Garden Suburb

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you work in Garden Suburb?

We do. Technicians travel to Garden Suburb from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Garden Suburb

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Air the room after use
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Use the extractor fan

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

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

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What bath resealing costs

We do not charge extra for travel to Garden Suburb. The price comes down to:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it

Most customers in Garden Suburb get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hidden water damage
