Bath resealing in Raughton Head

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Air the room after use

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Bath resealing in Raughton Head, done in place

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. We are frequently asked to fix water getting behind the bath or tray and unsealed corners, in basins & vanity units, baths and wet rooms.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Your questions about bath resealing in Raughton Head

Can you price it without visiting?

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cumbria.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Raughton Head. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How we price bath resealing

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Raughton Head. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Resealing in Raughton Head: why it matters

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Why Raughton Head clients choose us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No need to remove anything

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hidden water damage
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

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

Surfaces we repair

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