Bath resealing for Spelter homes

Common questions in Spelter

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Bath resealing at your home in Spelter

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are gaps by the taps and gaps in the seal.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

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

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours, tidy-up included.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Landlord and trade work in Spelter

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For anyone letting property in or around Spelter, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

How we price bath resealing

We do not charge extra for travel to Spelter. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, 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.

What we are called out for in Spelter

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

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Stained silicone
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • When it can be used again
