Bath resealing near Lerryn

About our bath resealing in Lerryn

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. Whether it’s a messy previous reseal and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can help.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Lerryn as everywhere else we work.

FAQs for Lerryn

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We will give you the curing time.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

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.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  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. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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, for the same reason.

Signs you need bath resealing in Lerryn

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

The things customers normally mention when they call are:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • An untidy old seal

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Landlord and trade work in Lerryn

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Prices and what affects them

You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
