Bath resealing in Litton

How we handle bath resealing in Litton

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Whether it’s damp near the bath and black mould in the sealant, we can usually put it right, on baths, basins & vanity units and wet rooms alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What bath resealing costs

There is no charge for travel to Litton. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your BA3 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What we’re called out for in Litton

Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Before you book anyone

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How your room will be protected

How to compare quotes

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.

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

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes around two hours.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

Landlords, agents and businesses in Litton

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Movement in the bath or tray

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

Materials we work on in Litton

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

Repairs by material

Your questions about bath resealing in Litton

How quickly can you book me in?

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

How long before I can shower?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you cover Litton?

We do. We send a technician to Litton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
