Bath resealing near Greenhills

How it works

From the moment we arrive, 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 by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What affects the price in Greenhills

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

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Greenhills, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

FAQs for Greenhills

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Resealing in Greenhills: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What we cannot put right

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

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

  • Baths
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Wet rooms

What your bath or shower is made of matters

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, so the joint is at its widest.

Common problems we fix in Greenhills

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • An untidy old seal
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How your room will be protected
