Bath resealing in Northwood

Bath resealing in Northwood, done in place

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. Whether it’s damp near the bath and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Common questions in Northwood

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Typically because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Do you cover the entire of Shropshire?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What we are called out for in Northwood

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How the colour is matched

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Why it’s worth resealing in Northwood

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Northwood customers choose us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

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.
