Bath resealing at your home in Long Meadowend

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include silicone coming away from the tiles and black spots in the silicone, on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Long Meadowend as everywhere else we work.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Air the room after use
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

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

Prices and what affects them

We don’t charge extra for travel to Long Meadowend. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Long Meadowend. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SY7 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take around two hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

Long Meadowend: your questions answered

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Long Meadowend included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

What we are called out for in Long Meadowend

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • A messy previous reseal

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What preparation is included
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How to look after the finish
