Bath resealing for Geirinis homes

What bath resealing costs

There’s no area surcharge for Geirinis. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Bath resealing in Geirinis without replacing anything

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. If you are dealing with unsealed corners and old sealant that looks dirty, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

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

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 a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Geirinis

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

People generally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Black spots in the silicone

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What prep work is covered
  • How the colour is matched
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Your questions about bath resealing in Geirinis

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

How much does bath resealing cost in Geirinis?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Geirinis. Prices don’t change with location.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

What we cannot put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A flexing bath
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on
