Bath resealing for Raw homes

Bath resealing in Raw without replacing anything

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. If you are dealing with gaps by the taps and an untidy old seal, we can help.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Prices and what affects them

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Raw, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Do you need bath resealing in Raw?

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How to care for the finish
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Raw questions

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Raw

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to around two hours.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to care for the repair

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

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
