Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Let steam out after showers

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Bath resealing at your home in Over

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Common call-outs are for silicone coming away from the tiles and an untidy old seal, in shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Resealing in Over: why it matters

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

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

Over: your questions answered

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Will there be a smell?

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

How much does bath resealing cost in Over?

Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your GL2 postcode.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will it make a mess?

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

What bath resealing costs

Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Over

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.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
