Bath resealing in Longstock

Prices and what affects them

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote.

About our bath resealing in Longstock

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are silicone smeared on tiles and black spots in the silicone.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A flexing bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

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

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Longstock questions

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time, usually around a day.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Are there extra charges for Longstock?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Hampshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Signs you need bath resealing in Longstock

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • A messy previous reseal

Before you book anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How to care for the finish
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Our hiring checklist

Why reseal now?

Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes about two hours for a bath for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
