Bath resealing for Jericho homes

What we’re called out for in Jericho

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Sealant that is split or lifting

Choosing a repair company

Bath resealing at your home in Jericho

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are sealant that’s split or lifting and an untidy old seal.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What affects the price in Jericho

There is no charge for travel to Jericho. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

If you are in Jericho and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hidden water damage

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Jericho

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Jericho use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around Jericho, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take around two hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

FAQs for Jericho

Can new silicone go over old?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
