Why it’s worth resealing in Orton

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. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Orton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • No need to remove anything
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

See our pricing.

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Open a window after bathing

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

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

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Baths

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

Prices and what affects them

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Something in shot to show the size

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Orton

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

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Are there extra charges for Orton?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

How much does bath resealing cost in Orton?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

When to call us in Orton

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

What your quote should include

  • Aftercare advice
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
