The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take about two hours for a bath, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

What bath resealing costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Leicestershire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

If you manage property in Shearsby, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we cannot put right

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hidden water damage

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Do you need bath resealing in Shearsby?

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Stained silicone
  • Gaps by the taps

Before you book anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

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

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
