Bath resealing in Langton, done in place

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you’re dealing with water getting behind the bath or tray and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Landlord and trade work in Langton

If you manage property in Langton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. 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.

Questions from Langton

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How we price bath resealing

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Whether we combine several jobs
The material
The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed price

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

Natural light rather than flash
Any details about the material
Any earlier repairs or coatings
A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

If you’re in Langton and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have 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 let you know when you can use it again.

Aftercare tips

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

Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Open a window after bathing
Give the seal a regular clean
Keep the joints dry

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
