Bath resealing for Markington homes

Bath resealing at your home in Markington

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, as one neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include discoloured, yellow sealant and black mould in the sealant, across basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Markington use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, tidy-up included.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

What bath resealing costs

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

When to call us in Markington

Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • An untidy old seal

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

What a repair can’t fix

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
