Bath resealing in Saxby

About our bath resealing in Saxby

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Whether it’s mould you can’t clean out and a messy previous reseal, we can help, whatever the material.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Common problems we fix in Saxby

Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

Before you book anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A flexing bath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Saxby, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Air the room after use
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Why it’s worth resealing in Saxby

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Common questions in Saxby

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

How long will it take?

Typically a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

How long before I can shower?

Generally after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Do you cover Saxby?

We do. We send a technician to Saxby for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
