Bath resealing near Langley Street

What we cannot put right

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Bath resealing at your home in Langley Street

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Typical jobs include an untidy old seal and gaps by the taps, in shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

FAQs for Langley Street

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you need bath resealing in Langley Street?

In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • A messy previous reseal

Comparing quotes

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What prep work is covered
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 will not last.

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean

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

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

What affects the price in Langley Street

You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

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’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
