What bath resealing costs

We do not charge extra for travel to Horton-cum-Studley. The price comes down to:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit

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.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

How we handle bath resealing in Horton-cum-Studley

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with damp near the bath and old sealant that looks dirty, we can help, on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

When a repair is not the answer

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • An untidy old seal
  • Stained silicone
  • Black mould in the sealant

Questions to ask before you book

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Horton-cum-Studley

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Horton-cum-Studley as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Open a window after bathing

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

FAQs for Horton-cum-Studley

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How much does bath resealing cost in Horton-cum-Studley?

Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your OX33 postcode.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

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. It normally takes around two hours.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage
