Bath resealing in Longformacus without replacing anything

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s an untidy old seal and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can usually put it right.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

How we price bath resealing

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

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 to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Work done at your home or business

See our prices page.

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

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

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  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. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Longformacus, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Do you need bath resealing in Longformacus?

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Unsealed corners
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Common questions in Longformacus

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

How long does a reseal take?

Typically a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Air the room after use
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Landlord and trade work in Longformacus
