When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A flexing bath
  • Hidden water damage

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

What we work on

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

Bath resealing in Sapcote, done in place

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. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and the jobs we see most are stained silicone and leaks at the edges.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Sapcote and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sapcote

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What bath resealing costs

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Your questions about bath resealing in Sapcote

How long does silicone take to cure?

You will get the curing time from us, generally around a day.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you cover the entire of Leicestershire?

Across the UK, so Sapcote is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Why reseal now?

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take around two hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
