Trusted bath resealing in Minishant

Bath resealing in Minishant without replacing anything

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. If you’re dealing with water getting behind the bath or tray and black mould in the sealant, we can normally put it right.

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

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

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, so the joint is at its widest.

  • Old sealant that looks dirty

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again

How to compare quotes

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

How we price bath resealing

We charge the same across the UK, including Minishant. What changes the price is:

  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Minishant

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

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.

Your questions about bath resealing in Minishant

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

How much does bath resealing cost in Minishant?

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

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

How long before I can shower?

You will get the curing time from us, usually around a day.

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
