Bath resealing in Scole

Bath resealing at your home in Scole

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s gaps by the taps and old sealant that looks dirty, we can normally put it right.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Your questions about bath resealing in Scole

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

How long does a reseal take?

Normally a couple of hours, plus curing time.

When to call us in Scole

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Damp near the bath
  • A messy previous reseal

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How your room will be protected

Our hiring checklist

Why it’s worth resealing in Scole

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Fixed prices from your photos

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

For anyone letting property in or around Scole, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

What bath resealing costs

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

  • A flexing bath
