Bath resealing near Shenleybury

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

About our bath resealing in Shenleybury

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, in a neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s black spots in the silicone and damp near the bath, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

How it works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow around two hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shenleybury use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Common questions in Shenleybury

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How much does bath resealing cost in Shenleybury?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

What we cannot put right

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

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

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

Materials we work on in Shenleybury

Do you need bath resealing in Shenleybury?

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Unsealed corners
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Mould you cannot clean out

What to look for in a quote

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 frequently lifts.

What bath resealing costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size

Most customers in Shenleybury get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
