Bath resealing near Sandleford

How we handle bath resealing in Sandleford

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about discoloured, yellow sealant and leaks at the edges.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Questions from Sandleford

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do you work in Sandleford?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Sandleford and the rest of West Berkshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Sandleford.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

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

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Landlord and trade work in Sandleford

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Sandleford clients choose us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No extra charge for your area

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Air the room after use

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • A flexing bath
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Hollow or loose tiles

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

What we work on

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Baths

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Where you are, by postcode

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

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 we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
