How to compare quotes

How we handle bath resealing in Greenigoe

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Typical jobs include black spots in the silicone and water getting behind the bath or tray, on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths.

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

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

FAQs for Greenigoe

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Are there extra charges for Greenigoe?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

What affects the price in Greenigoe

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

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

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

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