Bath resealing in Leabrooks

About our bath resealing in Leabrooks

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. We regularly repair wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are unsealed corners and sealant that’s split or lifting.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What bath resealing costs

There’s no charge for travel to Leabrooks. The price comes down to:

  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Open a window after bathing

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Leabrooks questions

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

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you cover Leabrooks?

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

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Will it make a mess?

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

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

When to call us in Leabrooks

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

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • An untidy old seal

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
