Bath resealing in Latton

When to call us in Latton

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Look out for these signs:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Damp near the bath
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

What to look for in a quote

Choosing a repair company

Bath resealing in Latton, done in place

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. If you’re dealing with a messy previous reseal and stained silicone, we can generally put it right, on baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Why it’s worth resealing in Latton

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

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

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

What bath resealing costs

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price 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 photos. This is what we need:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

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

Your questions about bath resealing in Latton

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do you charge for travel?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

How much does bath resealing cost in Latton?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How long does resealing take?

Typically a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

When can you do it?

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