Bath resealing near Orchard Leigh

Bath resealing in Orchard Leigh, done in place

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We regularly repair wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are water getting behind the bath or tray and missing sealant behind the taps.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

What affects the price in Orchard Leigh

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

FAQs for Orchard Leigh

How long does silicone take to cure?

Typically after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Orchard Leigh?

We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your HP5 postcode.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
