Bath resealing in Putnoe

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Bath resealing at your home in Putnoe

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Whether it’s gaps by the taps and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

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

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

  • Movement in the bath or tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

FAQs for Putnoe

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

How we price bath resealing

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Putnoe, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
