Trusted bath resealing in Shelfanger

How we price bath resealing

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

About our bath resealing in Shelfanger

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours. Common call-outs are for black mould in the sealant and silicone coming away from the tiles, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Common questions in Shelfanger

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

How long does a reseal take?

Generally a couple of hours, plus curing time.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Hidden water damage
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shelfanger as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Repairs by material

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, for the same reason.

When to call us in Shelfanger

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Common reasons people in Shelfanger contact us include:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • An untidy old seal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Questions to ask before booking

  • What prep work is covered
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who will actually do the work
