Bath resealing in Grantham, done in place

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. Typical jobs include sealant that’s split or lifting and leaks at the edges, across wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep the joints dry

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes around two hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Do you need bath resealing in Grantham?

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

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Gaps in the seal

10 questions to ask before you book

Your questions about bath resealing in Grantham

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Grantham.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Do you come to Grantham?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Grantham and the rest of Lincolnshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What affects the price in Grantham

We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Grantham, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Why reseal now?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Shower trays & enclosures
