Bath resealing for Knockentiber homes

How we handle bath resealing in Knockentiber

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you are dealing with missing sealant behind the taps and old sealant that looks dirty, we can help, whatever the material.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Why it’s worth resealing in Knockentiber

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

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

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to around two hours, including clearing up.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

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 to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Landlord and trade work in Knockentiber

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

If you manage property in Knockentiber, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Prices and what affects them

We charge the same across the UK, including Knockentiber. The price reflects:

  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Most customers in Knockentiber get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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