Book bath resealing in Overtown

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

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

How we handle bath resealing in Overtown

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for black spots in the silicone and unsealed corners, across basins & vanity units, baths and wet rooms.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Overtown: your questions answered

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time, normally around a day.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Landlord and trade work in Overtown

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Overtown use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Letting agents often 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.

When a repair is not the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hidden water damage

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When to call us in Overtown

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Black mould in the sealant

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Take a look at our full price list.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes about two hours for a bath, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

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

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
