Bath resealing for Ruston homes

How we handle bath resealing in Ruston

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for a messy previous reseal and black mould in the sealant, on wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Your questions about bath resealing in Ruston

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How much does bath resealing cost in Ruston?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage

There are no surprise 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 pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One visit for most repairs

When to call us in Ruston

In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Look out for these signs:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the colour is matched
  • What aftercare is recommended

10 questions to ask before you book

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Ruston, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ruston use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

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

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Hidden water damage
  • Movement in the bath or tray

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