Bath resealing near Puddledock

Landlord and trade work in Puddledock

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

About our bath resealing in Puddledock

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We regularly repair wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and people most often call us about gaps by the taps and discoloured, yellow sealant.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Puddledock: your questions answered

Do you cover Puddledock?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Puddledock. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Puddledock?

Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Common problems we fix in Puddledock

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

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Leaks at the edges

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hidden water damage
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish

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

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How to care for the repair

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

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Let steam out after showers

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
