About our bath resealing in Short Street

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. We work on baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about water getting behind the bath or tray and mould you can’t clean out.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • We leave the room as we found it

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Questions from Short Street

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Is my repair covered?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Signs you need bath resealing in Short Street

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

The things customers usually mention when they call include:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Black mould in the sealant

Comparing quotes

  • What prep work is covered
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job 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. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Related advice

When we’d advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A flexing bath
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Let steam out after showers

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

What affects the price in Short Street

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
