Bath resealing near Longford

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Dry the seal after bathing

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

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Bath resealing at your home in Longford

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about discoloured, yellow sealant and gaps in the seal.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Longford and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Longford questions

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you cover the whole of Slough?

Everywhere in the UK, Longford included. Travel is included in the price.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

If you manage property in Longford, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What affects the price in Longford

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Any details about the material

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 if a repair is the right fix.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a couple of hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the area is dry

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
