How we handle bath resealing in Linton

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Common call-outs are for unsealed corners and old sealant that looks dirty, on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repairs by material

Baths

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

What bath resealing costs

We do not charge extra for travel to Linton. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Linton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A flexing bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Wet rooms

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Why it’s worth resealing in Linton

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. 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 price.

What we are called out for in Linton

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.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Unsealed corners
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How soon you can use it again
