Bath resealing near Gunthorpe

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gunthorpe use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

About our bath resealing in Gunthorpe

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed. Most jobs take a couple of hours, plus curing time. We work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths, and common reasons people contact us are black mould in the sealant and leaks at the edges.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them

You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NG14 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

When to call us in Gunthorpe

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A flexing bath
  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

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

What we work on

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

Gunthorpe: your questions answered

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Nottinghamshire.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We’ll give you the curing time.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Do you work in Gunthorpe?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Gunthorpe and the rest of Nottinghamshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take about two hours for a bath.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for 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 will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Baths

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
