Bath resealing at your home in Ratford

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Typical jobs include black spots in the silicone and leaks at the edges, on baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When to call us in Ratford

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Gaps by the taps

Questions from Ratford

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you cover the whole of Wiltshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Ratford included. Travel is included in the price.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Why reseal now?

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Movement in the bath or tray

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Landlord and trade work in Ratford

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ratford as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • 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, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

How we price bath resealing

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
