  • Baths

How we handle bath resealing in Sleaford

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed. Most jobs take a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. We are often asked to fix gaps by the taps and water getting behind the bath or tray, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Sleaford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Air the room after use
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Common questions in Sleaford

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Sleaford included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Will it make a mess?

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

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Sleaford?

Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your GU35 postcode.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

How long does silicone take to cure?

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

What bath resealing costs

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode

If you’re in Sleaford and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One price list for the whole UK
