How we handle bath resealing in Kirklevington

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Typical jobs include mould you can’t clean out and old sealant that looks dirty, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kirklevington

For anyone letting property in or around Kirklevington, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kirklevington as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Air the room after use

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What bath resealing costs

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Kirklevington questions

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you work in Kirklevington?

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

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

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

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

Common problems we fix in Kirklevington

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Stained silicone
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Mould you can’t clean out

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
