Bath resealing in Linwood

Bath resealing in Linwood without replacing anything

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about leaks at the edges and black spots in the silicone.

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

Resealing in Linwood: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Prices and what affects them

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

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

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not right for every job, including:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Linwood: your questions answered

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Linwood

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  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. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
