Bath resealing near Little Sessay

Bath resealing at your home in Little Sessay

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for silicone smeared on tiles and black spots in the silicone, on baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Do I need to be at home?

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Materials we work on in Little Sessay

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

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Can I fix it myself?

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

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take around two hours.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Advice

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

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Signs you need bath resealing in Little Sessay

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Little Sessay

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.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. 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.
