Bath resealing at your home in Market Overton

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. If you’re dealing with silicone coming away from the tiles and missing sealant behind the taps, we can help.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Common questions in Market Overton

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How much does bath resealing cost in Market Overton?

Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your LE15 postcode.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Are there extra charges for Market Overton?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

For landlords and businesses

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.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours, including clearing up.

  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.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What a repair can’t fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Market Overton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Do you need bath resealing in Market Overton?

Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Leaks at the edges

Questions to ask before booking

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
