Bath resealing near Northmoor

Bath resealing at your home in Northmoor

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Common call-outs are for black spots in the silicone and discoloured, yellow sealant, on baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Why it’s worth resealing in Northmoor

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One visit for most repairs

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Use the extractor fan

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

How we price bath resealing

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material

Most customers in Northmoor get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

When to call us in Northmoor

Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Gaps by the taps

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

How to compare quotes

Northmoor: your questions answered

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Typically because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.

Are there extra charges for Northmoor?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Northmoor

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Northmoor as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Rental properties take more wear, 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.
