Bath resealing in Pontesford

Bath resealing at your home in Pontesford

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. Our technicians work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and common reasons people contact us are an untidy old seal and sealant that’s split or lifting.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What affects the price in Pontesford

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower

For a price in Pontesford, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Pontesford, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Common problems we fix in Pontesford

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

People typically call us after spotting something like this:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Unsealed corners

Before you book anyone

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Pontesford: your questions answered

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Pontesford. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes around two hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
