Bath resealing near Heather

How we price bath resealing

Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of 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

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Heather, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How we handle bath resealing in Heather

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. If you’re dealing with old sealant that looks dirty and gaps in the seal, we can usually put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms alike.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Air the room after use
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

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

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

Common questions in Heather

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Typically because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Heather

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

Do you need bath resealing in Heather?

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

Clients normally contact us about:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Gaps by the taps

Questions to ask before you book

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the colour is matched

How to compare quotes

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Why reseal now?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
