Bath resealing in Linstead Parva

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

About our bath resealing in Linstead Parva

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed. Most jobs take a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. If you are dealing with unsealed corners and black spots in the silicone, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

What bath resealing costs

You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Do you need bath resealing in Linstead Parva?

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

The things customers normally mention when they call include:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Stained silicone
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Comparing quotes

  • How to care for the finish
  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Air the room after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Linstead Parva

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Linstead Parva use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. There are no surprise 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.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Linstead Parva questions

What do you need from me?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes about two hours for a bath, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
