Bath resealing for Kelsall homes

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A fixed quote before booking

About our bath resealing in Kelsall

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We are frequently asked to fix discoloured, yellow sealant and sealant that’s split or lifting, across basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How we price bath resealing

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

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

The process

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Kelsall

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

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

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Questions from Kelsall

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Kelsall.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

When to call us in Kelsall

Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

The things clients generally mention when they call are:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Questions to ask before booking

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How to look after the finish
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether they match the colour on site
