Bath resealing in Longnor without replacing anything

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. If you are dealing with missing sealant behind the taps and stained silicone, we can help, whatever the material.

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

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

Surfaces we repair

  • Shower trays & enclosures

Your questions about bath resealing in Longnor

How soon can you come?

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

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Longnor included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can landlords book you?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

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

Resealing in Longnor: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Longnor. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Work done at your home or business

See our full price list.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Air the room after use
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What bath resealing costs

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Most customers in Longnor get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Longnor

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
