Book bath resealing in Longslow

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes around two hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access

Why it’s worth resealing in Longslow

Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One visit for most repairs
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Common questions in Longslow

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What do you need from me?

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

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Longslow.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TF9 postcode.

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

What areas do you cover?

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Signs you need bath resealing in Longslow

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

People usually call us after spotting something like this:

  • Damp near the bath
  • An untidy old seal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

How we price bath resealing

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

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

Surfaces we repair

  • Wet rooms
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
