What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes around two hours. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

About our bath resealing in Kettlebaston

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you are dealing with sealant that’s split or lifting and mould you can’t clean out, we can help, whatever the material.

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kettlebaston

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures 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.

Why reseal now?

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • One visit for most repairs

When to call us in Kettlebaston

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Gaps by the taps

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What preparation is included
  • How to look after the finish
  • If travel is included in the price

What we can’t put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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 generally the cheaper route.

Your questions about bath resealing in Kettlebaston

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Is there any odour?

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

Do I need to be at home?

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

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Kettlebaston?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Usually because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Do you cover Kettlebaston?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Kettlebaston from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

How we price bath resealing

There is no area surcharge for Kettlebaston. The price reflects:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
