Bath resealing in Rame

Rame questions

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How long will it take?

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

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

About our bath resealing in Rame

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Common call-outs are for water getting behind the bath or tray and an untidy old seal, across shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms 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.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, 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.

Landlord and trade work in Rame

For anyone letting property in or around Rame, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When to call us in Rame

In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • An untidy old seal
  • Damp near the bath

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • When it can be used again

Our hiring checklist

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve 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 are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why reseal now?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What affects the price in Rame

Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Rame. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote
