Bath resealing in Sawdon

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Movement in the bath or tray

What bath resealing costs

Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why Sawdon customers choose us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Common problems we fix in Sawdon

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Gaps by the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Aftercare advice

FAQs for Sawdon

How long will it take?

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

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Open a window after bathing

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
