Bath resealing near Smockington

Bath resealing at your home in Smockington

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, plus curing time. If you’re dealing with silicone coming away from the tiles and missing sealant behind the taps, we can normally put it right, on baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Questions from Smockington

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do you work in Smockington?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Smockington from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Why reseal now?

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. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Common problems we fix in Smockington

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

  • Mould you can’t clean out

What bath resealing costs

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

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match

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

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

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

Materials we work on in Smockington

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
