Bath resealing in South Elkington

Bath resealing at your home in South Elkington

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We are often asked to fix discoloured, yellow sealant and silicone smeared on tiles, across basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What a repair cannot fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Materials we repair

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Questions from South Elkington

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Normally because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

How much does bath resealing cost in South Elkington?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What we are called out for in South Elkington

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Unsealed corners
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Gaps in the seal

How to compare quotes

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How we price bath resealing

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
