Bath resealing for Owston Ferry homes

Bath resealing in Owston Ferry, done in place

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Our technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are black mould in the sealant and a messy previous reseal.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

What bath resealing costs

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit

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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Owston Ferry questions

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

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

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

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

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
