Bath resealing in Longborough

How we handle bath resealing in Longborough

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Common call-outs are for gaps in the seal and a messy previous reseal, across shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.

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

When a repair is not the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Longborough questions

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How long does a reseal take?

Generally a couple of hours, plus curing time.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

For a price in Longborough, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Landlord and trade work in Longborough

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

When to call us in Longborough

In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • An untidy old seal
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Leaks at the edges

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How to care for the finish
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
