Bath resealing in Rumford

About our bath resealing in Rumford

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Whether it’s old sealant that looks dirty and gaps in the seal, we can help, on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units alike.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take around two hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  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

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

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

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

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

FAQs for Rumford

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Rumford. Prices do not change with location.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your FK2 postcode.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

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

Prices and what affects them

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • The material, if you know it

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Choosing a repair company

Why it’s worth resealing in Rumford

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One visit for most repairs
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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, then guarantee it for a year.
