Bath resealing in Morleymoor

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

How we handle bath resealing in Morleymoor

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, plus curing time. Our technicians work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are sealant that’s split or lifting and leaks at the edges.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A flexing bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price bath resealing

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Why reseal now?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Our hiring checklist

How it works

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Morleymoor: your questions answered

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Landlord and trade work in Morleymoor

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Morleymoor as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep the joints dry

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

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