How we price bath resealing

Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Most clients in Little Torrington get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Air the room after use
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Your questions about bath resealing in Little Torrington

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Little Torrington?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Why it’s worth resealing in Little Torrington

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No need to remove anything

See our prices page.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Do you need bath resealing in Little Torrington?

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Stained silicone
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Mould you can’t clean out

What to look for in a quote

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
