Trusted bath resealing in Gildersome

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Bath resealing at your home in Gildersome

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths, and the jobs we see most are a messy previous reseal and black mould in the sealant.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Movement in the bath or tray

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

Materials we repair

  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Baths

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Gildersome

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Common questions in Gildersome

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Do you come to Gildersome?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Gildersome from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow around two hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
