Bath resealing near Great Casterton

How we handle bath resealing in Great Casterton

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths, and people most often call us about a messy previous reseal and stained silicone.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Great Casterton, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for about two hours for a bath. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. 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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Your questions about bath resealing in Great Casterton

How long does a reseal take?

Usually a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Do you cover the whole of Lincolnshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Great Casterton included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

How long before I can shower?

Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

When we would advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

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

Repairs by material

Shower trays

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

Baths

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

What we’re called out for in Great Casterton

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Stained silicone
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Black mould in the sealant

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the price covers travel
