Bath resealing in Long Buckby

Bath resealing in Long Buckby without replacing anything

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are an untidy old seal and damp near the bath.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Baths

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Your questions about bath resealing in Long Buckby

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You will get the curing time from us, typically around a day.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

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

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Prices and what affects them

We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once

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 quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Get a quote

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
