Need bath resealing in Quarndon?

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Bath resealing in Quarndon without replacing anything

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s black spots in the silicone and silicone smeared on tiles, 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.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Do you need bath resealing in Quarndon?

Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Damp near the bath
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

10 questions to ask before booking

Why it’s worth resealing in Quarndon

Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

Quarndon: your questions answered

Do you cover the entire of Derby?

The whole UK, including all of Derby. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

How long does resealing take?

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

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Are there extra charges for Quarndon?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • 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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
