Bath resealing in Grimston

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take around two hours, including clearing up.

  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. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

About our bath resealing in Grimston

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are water getting behind the bath or tray and unsealed corners.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

When to call us in Grimston

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

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Sealant that is split or lifting

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

What bath resealing costs

There’s no area surcharge for Grimston. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit

Set against the cost of replacement, 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.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Common questions in Grimston

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can new silicone go over old?

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

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you come to Grimston?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Grimston for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A flexing bath

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

Materials we work on in Grimston

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

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No extra charge for your area
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Take a look at our full price list.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Keep the joints dry

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

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

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

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