Bath resealing for Longstanton homes

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

Bath resealing at your home in Longstanton

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s stained silicone and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can help.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Prices and what affects them

There is no charge for travel to Longstanton. The price comes down to:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Longstanton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Longstanton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Longstanton

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Air the room after use
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
