How we handle bath resealing in South Cave

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Whether it’s water getting behind the bath or tray and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can help, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months in South Cave and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What bath resealing costs

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs

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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it

For a price in South Cave, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  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

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Why it’s worth resealing in South Cave

Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Work done at your home or business

Aftercare tips

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

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Air the room after use

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Landlords, agents and businesses in South Cave

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

South Cave questions

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you charge for travel?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You will get the curing time from us.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A flexing bath
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair
