Need bath resealing in Pitcaple?

Bath resealing at your home in Pitcaple

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths, and people most frequently call us about gaps by the taps and discoloured, yellow sealant.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What we are called out for in Pitcaple

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

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Unsealed corners
  • An untidy old seal

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to compare quotes

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Pitcaple. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

Read our pricing.

What affects the price in Pitcaple

You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Pitcaple: your questions answered

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Pitcaple.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We’ll give you the curing time.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

Shower trays

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pitcaple

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pitcaple use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

If you manage property in Pitcaple, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

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

The process

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  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. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can
