Need bath resealing in Scole Common?

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  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 pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Why it’s worth resealing in Scole Common

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Scole Common. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

FAQs for Scole Common

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

Do you work in Scole Common?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Scole Common for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What affects the price in Scole Common

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

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Signs you need bath resealing in Scole Common

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Unsealed corners

What to look for in a quote

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What prep work is covered

  • Hidden water damage
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Repairs by material

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.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Scole Common as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
