Bath resealing at your home in Pollington

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you’re dealing with unsealed corners and old sealant that looks dirty, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

What your quote should include

Choosing a repair company

Resealing in Pollington: why it matters

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

The process

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for about two hours for a bath. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

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

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pollington

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
