Bath resealing in Lank

How we handle bath resealing in Lank

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are silicone smeared on tiles and discoloured, yellow sealant.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Landlord and trade work in Lank

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lank use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around Lank, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A flexing bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Questions from Lank

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

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

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Resealing in Lank: why it matters

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Everything repaired in place

Prices and what affects them

We do not charge extra for travel to Lank. The price comes down to:

  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
