How we handle bath resealing in Pickmere

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you’re dealing with an untidy old seal and stained silicone, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

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

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • A flexing bath
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What we are called out for in Pickmere

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

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Unsealed corners
  • An untidy old seal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Stained silicone

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price covers travel

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about bath resealing in Pickmere

How long does a reseal take?

Usually a couple of hours, plus curing time.

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

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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 often lifts.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Why it’s worth resealing in Pickmere

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Work done at your home or business
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

How we price bath resealing

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a couple of hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
