Bath resealing in Paxton

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Bath resealing in Paxton without replacing anything

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed using mould-resistant silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Our technicians work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about black spots in the silicone and an untidy old seal.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Use the extractor fan

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

What bath resealing costs

We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Paxton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash

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

Questions from Paxton

How long will it take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Are there extra charges for Paxton?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Is there any odour?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Northumberland.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Signs you need bath resealing in Paxton

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Leaks at the edges
  • An untidy old seal
  • Stained silicone

Questions to ask before booking

  • What preparation is included
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
