Bath resealing for Pettinain homes

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Bath resealing in Pettinain, done in place

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about water getting behind the bath or tray and missing sealant behind the taps.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What affects the price in Pettinain

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Pettinain: your questions answered

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

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

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Pettinain, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a couple of hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

What we’re called out for in Pettinain

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

People usually call us after spotting something like this:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How changes to the job are handled

Our hiring checklist

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
