Bath resealing for Low Leven homes

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

Bath resealing in Low Leven without replacing anything

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and people most frequently call us about gaps in the seal and old sealant that looks dirty.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Common problems we fix in Low Leven

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Mould you can’t clean out

Before you book anyone

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Your questions about bath resealing in Low Leven

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your TS17 postcode.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

How we price bath resealing

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Low Leven as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
