Trusted bath resealing in Lately Common

Bath resealing at your home in Lately Common

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Typical jobs include mould you can’t clean out and silicone coming away from the tiles, on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Why reseal now?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 won’t last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Your questions about bath resealing in Lately Common

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you cover Lately Common?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Lately Common for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

When to call us in Lately Common

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • An untidy old seal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Sealant that is split or lifting

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Aftercare advice
  • When it can be used again
  • What prep work is covered

How to compare quotes

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

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

Materials we repair

  • Shower trays & enclosures
