About our bath resealing in Parkgate

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for leaks at the edges and old sealant that looks dirty, on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Air the room after use

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

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

Different materials, different repairs

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.

What affects the price in Parkgate

There’s no charge for travel to Parkgate. The price comes down to:

  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For a price in Parkgate, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

When we would advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common questions in Parkgate

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Parkgate?

We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It typically takes around two hours, and you’re 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. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
