Bath resealing in Sancton, done in place

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about gaps in the seal and gaps by the taps.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Why it’s worth resealing in Sancton

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Questions from Sancton

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How long does resealing take?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

How much does bath resealing cost in Sancton?

Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your YO43 postcode.

Prices and what affects them

You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Air the room after use
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Use the extractor fan

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.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for about two hours for a bath. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
