How we handle bath resealing in Rhodesia

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Typical jobs include black mould in the sealant and silicone smeared on tiles, in kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Rhodesia, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

How we price bath resealing

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

FAQs for Rhodesia

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Do you cover the whole of Nottinghamshire?

All of Nottinghamshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
