Bath resealing in Rough Common without replacing anything

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed using mould-resistant silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. If you are dealing with mould you can’t clean out and unsealed corners, we can help.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take around two hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What affects the price in Rough Common

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Common questions in Rough Common

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Rough Common included. Travel is included in the price.

Do you cover Rough Common?

We do. We send a technician to Rough Common for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles

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

Materials we work on in Rough Common

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

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

Shower trays

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