How we handle bath resealing in North End

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are a messy previous reseal and discoloured, yellow sealant.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

North End questions

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your PO2 postcode.

Are there extra charges for North End?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Are you accredited?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Prices and what affects them

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your PO2 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Landlord and trade work in North End

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.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow about two hours for a bath, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  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. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

Why it’s worth resealing in North End

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

See our full price list.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in North End

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Do you need bath resealing in North End?

Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Damp near the bath
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • If travel is included in the price
