Need bath resealing in Russland?

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

About our bath resealing in Russland

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’re dealing with leaks at the edges and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Landlord and trade work in Russland

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For anyone letting property in or around Russland, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Russland

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

What affects the price in Russland

We do not charge extra for travel to Russland. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For a price in Russland, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Common questions in Russland

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.

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

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What information do you need?

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

What we’re called out for in Russland

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Comparing quotes

  • How your room will be protected
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

10 questions to ask before booking

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take about two hours for a bath.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
