Bath resealing at your home in Sneyd Park

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and people most often call us about water getting behind the bath or tray and gaps in the seal.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Work for landlords and builders

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

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the area is dry

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Hidden water damage
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

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

Materials we work on in Sneyd Park

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

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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.

How we price bath resealing

We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

10 questions to ask before you book

Common questions in Sneyd Park

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
