Bath resealing near Packington

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Use the extractor fan

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Bath resealing in Packington, done in place

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Our repair technicians work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are water getting behind the bath or tray and stained silicone.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Questions from Packington

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do you cover Packington?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Packington and the rest of Leicestershire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How do I book?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Packington

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Packington as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

How we price bath resealing

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

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

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

If you are in Packington and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. 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. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  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. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

Common problems we fix in Packington

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Mould you can’t clean out

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How your room will be protected

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Resealing in Packington: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • No need to remove anything
  • One price list for the entire UK
