How we handle bath resealing in Little Braxted

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Little Braxted and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A flexing bath

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

What we work on

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

Do you need bath resealing in Little Braxted?

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Gaps in the seal

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the price covers travel

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Little Braxted, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access

What affects the price in Little Braxted

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
