Bath resealing at your home in Scalford

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops using mould-resistant silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are old sealant that looks dirty and mould you can’t clean out.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Scalford as everywhere else we work.

What affects the price in Scalford

We don’t charge extra for travel to Scalford. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. We don’t 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.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

FAQs for Scalford

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

How long before I can shower?

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

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How much does bath resealing cost in Scalford?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  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. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
