Bath resealing in Southway

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Bath resealing at your home in Southway

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Whether it’s damp near the bath and old sealant that looks dirty, we can usually put it right.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What affects the price in Southway

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode

There’s 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.

Common problems we fix in Southway

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Black mould in the sealant

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Common questions in Southway

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

When can you do it?

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

Do I need to be at home?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Southway included. Travel is included in the price.

Are there extra charges for Southway?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Air the room after use
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
