Bath resealing in Oldcotes, done in place

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for black mould in the sealant and discoloured, yellow sealant, in baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

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

Oldcotes: your questions answered

How long will it take?

Usually a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Do you cover the entire of Nottinghamshire?

All of Nottinghamshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

How long does silicone take to cure?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What we cannot put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Why it’s worth resealing in Oldcotes

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Same prices wherever you are

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • The material

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

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