Bath resealing in North Cove, done in place

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are water getting behind the bath or tray and discoloured, yellow sealant.

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

When to call us in North Cove

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Stained silicone

Before booking anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How your room will be protected

How to compare quotes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours, including clearing up.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How we price bath resealing

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Air the room after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Store bottles on a shelf

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

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Questions from North Cove

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is it messy?

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

Can landlords book you?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Why it’s worth resealing in North Cove

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
