Trusted bath resealing in Laverton

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

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’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

How we handle bath resealing in Laverton

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Whether it’s leaks at the edges and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can usually put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

Common problems we fix in Laverton

Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who turns up on the day
  • When it can be used again
  • What protection goes down before work starts

10 questions to ask before you book

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

See our full price list.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Common questions in Laverton

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.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Get a quote

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
