Bath resealing near Rinsey Croft

About our bath resealing in Rinsey Croft

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. We are often asked to fix mould you can’t clean out and an untidy old seal, across kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Rinsey Croft. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

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

Questions from Rinsey Croft

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is it messy?

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

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.

Common problems we fix in Rinsey Croft

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

Common reasons people in Rinsey Croft contact us include:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Before you book anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • If travel is included in the price

How to compare quotes

The process

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for around two hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Why it’s worth resealing in Rinsey Croft

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Landlords, agents and businesses in Rinsey Croft

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rinsey Croft as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Open a window after bathing

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
