Bath resealing at your home in Loves Green

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you are dealing with leaks at the edges and missing sealant behind the taps, we can normally put it right.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Loves Green as everywhere else we work.

Loves Green questions

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Will the price change on the day?

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

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can landlords book you?

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

Signs you need bath resealing in Loves Green

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Leaks at the edges

What to look for in a quote

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How your room will be protected
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Loves Green

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.

If you manage property in Loves Green, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Air the room after use
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

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

What affects the price in Loves Green

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

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

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to around two hours, including clearing up.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
