Bath resealing for Litcham homes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

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

How we handle bath resealing in Litcham

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. We work on wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are stained silicone and black spots in the silicone.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hollow or loose tiles

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Open a window after bathing

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Common questions in Litcham

How long before I can shower?

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

Do you work in Litcham?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Litcham for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How long does a reseal take?

Normally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Why it’s worth resealing in Litcham

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How we price bath resealing

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Litcham, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Litcham

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

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

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a couple of hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

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

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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.
