Bath resealing near Ladygrove

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Air the room after use

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Bath resealing in Ladygrove without replacing anything

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Whether it’s mould you can’t clean out and leaks at the edges, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Ladygrove, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How we price bath resealing

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Ladygrove. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Questions from Ladygrove

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Ladygrove. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Can you quote from photos?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You will get the curing time from us, typically around a day.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What we’re called out for in Ladygrove

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

People normally call us when they notice something like this:

  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • An untidy old seal
  • Stained silicone

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
