Bath resealing near Gosmore

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Bath resealing at your home in Gosmore

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are water getting behind the bath or tray and stained silicone.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gosmore as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

FAQs for Gosmore

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What does bath resealing cost?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Common problems we fix in Gosmore

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • An untidy old seal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Stained silicone

Questions to ask before booking

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A flexing bath
  • Hidden water damage

How it works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
