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

Sinks and worktops

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

Questions from Langley

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you work in Langley?

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

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When to call us in Langley

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

How to compare quotes

What bath resealing costs

There’s no area surcharge for Langley. The price reflects:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
