What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes around two hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  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. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

Bath resealing in Gratton without replacing anything

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about silicone smeared on tiles and stained silicone.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Common problems we fix in Gratton

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

Common reasons people in Gratton contact us are:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Stained silicone
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Mould you cannot clean out

What to look for in a quote

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Why it’s worth resealing in Gratton

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One visit for most repairs
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep the joints dry

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What bath resealing costs

There’s no charge for travel to Gratton. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Gratton: your questions answered

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Hidden water damage
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Wet rooms
  • Baths
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
