How to compare quotes

Bath resealing in Rushden without replacing anything

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Our repair technicians work on wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are mould you can’t clean out and a messy previous reseal.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Rushden as everywhere else we work.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Rushden

If you manage property in Rushden, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Prices and what affects them

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Air the room after use

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Rushden. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Common questions in Rushden

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You’ll get the curing time from us, normally around a day.

Can landlords book you?

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

Will there be a smell?

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

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Hidden water damage

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
