Do you need bath resealing in Meadowbank?

Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Leaks at the edges
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Unsealed corners

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before you book

Common questions in Meadowbank

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

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.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Repairs by material

Baths

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

We don’t charge extra for travel to Meadowbank. The price comes down to:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes around two hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Advice

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Air the room after use

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

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