Bath resealing for Seaton Sluice homes

How we price bath resealing

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

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Bath resealing in Seaton Sluice without replacing anything

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. If you are dealing with discoloured, yellow sealant and black spots in the silicone, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Signs you need bath resealing in Seaton Sluice

In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Stained silicone
  • Unsealed corners
  • Leaks at the edges
  • A messy previous reseal

What to look for in a quote

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

How to compare quotes

Different materials, different repairs

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, so the joint is at its widest.

Common questions in Seaton Sluice

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Are there extra charges for Seaton Sluice?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Why reseal now?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Seaton Sluice. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Air the room after use

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hidden water damage

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can
