Bath resealing in Quinton

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

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

Bath resealing in Quinton without replacing anything

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for mould you can’t clean out and an untidy old seal, in wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 frequently lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Quinton: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Do you cover Quinton?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Quinton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What bath resealing costs

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

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

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.

Why it’s worth resealing in Quinton

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
