Bath resealing in Spreyton

How we price bath resealing

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes

No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Spreyton, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How we handle bath resealing in Spreyton

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include an untidy old seal and mould you can’t clean out, across basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • One visit for most repairs

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Air the room after use
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Store bottles on a shelf

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How to compare quotes

Your questions about bath resealing in Spreyton

Will there be a smell?

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

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Spreyton?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you cover Spreyton?

We do. Technicians travel to Spreyton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How long will it take?

A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
