Bath resealing in Saleby

Prices and what affects them

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

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Bath resealing at your home in Saleby

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you are dealing with damp near the bath and gaps by the taps, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Saleby questions

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Saleby?

We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LN13 postcode.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Landlord and trade work in Saleby

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What we are called out for in Saleby

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Gaps in the seal

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hollow or loose tiles

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Why it’s worth resealing in Saleby

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What you get with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No extra charge for your area

Take a look at our full price list.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow around two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
