Bath resealing in Orton Waterville, done in place

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Our technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about stained silicone and damp near the bath.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Orton Waterville and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Your questions about bath resealing in Orton Waterville

How do I stop mould in sealant?

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

How much does bath resealing cost in Orton Waterville?

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

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

How long does a reseal take?

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

Do you cover Orton Waterville?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Orton Waterville and the rest of Peterborough. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Peterborough and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Common problems we fix in Orton Waterville

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

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Unsealed corners
  • Gaps in the seal
  • A messy previous reseal

Before you book anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What preparation is included
  • How soon you can use it again

How to compare quotes

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow about two hours for a bath. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What affects the price in Orton Waterville

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
