Bath resealing in Sparnon Gate

Bath resealing in Sparnon Gate, done in place

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Whether it’s black spots in the silicone and stained silicone, we can help, on wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units alike.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

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

Landlord and trade work in Sparnon Gate

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sparnon Gate as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What we’re called out for in Sparnon Gate

Sealant doesn’t last forever. 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 any of these:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Mould you cannot clean out

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

Sparnon Gate: your questions answered

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is my repair covered?

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

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TR16 postcode.

Will it make a mess?

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

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Prices and what affects them

We don’t charge extra for travel to Sparnon Gate. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For a price in Sparnon Gate, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price
