Bath resealing near Searby

How we handle bath resealing in Searby

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Common call-outs are for mould you can’t clean out and leaks at the edges, in shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Searby

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Common reasons people in Searby contact us include:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Stained silicone

10 questions to ask before booking

Prices and what affects them

There is no charge for travel to Searby. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • 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 over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Searby: your questions answered

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You will get the curing time from us.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Searby.

Do you cover Searby?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Searby and the rest of Lincolnshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Searby included. Travel is included in the price.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

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