Bath resealing near Sling

Bath resealing at your home in Sling

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Typical jobs include a messy previous reseal and discoloured, yellow sealant, in kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Sling questions

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

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

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

Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your GL16 postcode.

Can landlords book you?

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

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

When to call us in Sling

Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Stained silicone
  • Gaps by the taps
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back

For a price in Sling, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Hidden water damage
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
