Bath resealing in Skegby

How we price bath resealing

We do not charge extra for travel to Skegby. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Bath resealing in Skegby without replacing anything

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with missing sealant behind the taps and damp near the bath, we can help, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Skegby and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Common questions in Skegby

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Nottinghamshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

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

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can landlords book you?

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

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it 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.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

What we’re called out for in Skegby

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • An untidy old seal

Questions to ask before booking

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

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Skegby use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Air the room after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

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

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A flexing bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Why it’s worth resealing in Skegby

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
