Bath resealing at your home in Longman

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. Whether it’s water getting behind the bath or tray and black spots in the silicone, we can help, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Landlord and trade work in Longman

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

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.

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Longman, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

When to call us in Longman

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

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Damp near the bath
  • Black spots in the silicone

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What preparation is included

How to compare quotes

Longman questions

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

What areas do you cover?

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

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

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

Why it’s worth resealing in Longman

Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Take a look at our full price list.

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price
