Bath resealing near Howgill

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a couple of hours.

  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. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Howgill

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We leave the room as we found it

When to call us in Howgill

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Damp near the bath
  • Gaps in the seal

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long it needs to cure

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

How we price bath resealing

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

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

Baths

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