How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take about two hours for a bath.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

About our bath resealing in Intake

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Our repair technicians work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and the jobs we see most are silicone coming away from the tiles and water getting behind the bath or tray.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Intake and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Why it’s worth resealing in Intake

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • No need to remove anything

See our prices page.

Prices and what affects them

We don’t charge extra for travel to Intake. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

If you are in Intake and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we can’t put right

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

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

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

Materials we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Intake, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Intake questions

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Do you work in Intake?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Intake from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you cover the entire of Sheffield?

All of Sheffield, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Common problems we fix in Intake

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

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Unsealed corners

Before booking anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether they match the colour on site
