Bath resealing in Picton

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Bath resealing in Picton, done in place

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, plus curing time. If you’re dealing with damp near the bath and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can usually put it right.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our prices page.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

What bath resealing costs

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

  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

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

Most customers in Picton get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes about two hours for a bath, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can

Common questions in Picton

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Do you cover the whole of Cheshire West and Chester?

Across the UK, and that includes Picton. Prices do not change with location.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Signs you need bath resealing in Picton

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Stained silicone
  • Gaps by the taps

Comparing quotes

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How to care for the finish
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before booking

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
