Bath resealing for Meadfoot homes

What affects the price in Meadfoot

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • The material

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Meadfoot. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size

Most customers in Meadfoot get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Bath resealing in Meadfoot without replacing anything

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths, and people most frequently call us about old sealant that looks dirty and black spots in the silicone.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Air the room after use

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.

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

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take about two hours for a bath, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  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. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Do you need bath resealing in Meadfoot?

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Stained silicone
  • Mould you can’t clean out

What your quote should include

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
