Resealing in Glyndebourne: why it matters

What else we do in Glyndebourne
What bath resealing costs
There is no area surcharge for Glyndebourne. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
When to call us in Glyndebourne
Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Black spots in the silicone
- Damp near the bath
Questions to ask before booking
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Glyndebourne questions
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
