Bath resealing for Sneinton homes

Bath resealing in Sneinton without replacing anything

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s leaks at the edges and a messy previous reseal, we can generally put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms alike.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Nottingham.

Landlord and trade work in Sneinton

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Nottingham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What bath resealing costs

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NG1 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Let steam out after showers

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Sneinton questions

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How long does a reseal take?

Normally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do you need bath resealing in Sneinton?

In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Unsealed corners

What to look for in a quote

  • What prep work is covered
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What protection goes down before work starts
