About our bath resealing in Springfield

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you are dealing with leaks at the edges and mould you can’t clean out, we can help, on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths alike.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Common questions in Springfield

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How soon can you come?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you cover Springfield?

We do. We send a technician to Springfield for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

What we’re called out for in Springfield

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • An untidy old seal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Aftercare advice
  • How the colour is matched

10 questions to ask before you book

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Resealing in Springfield: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why Springfield clients choose us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No extra charge for your area

What affects the price in Springfield

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take around two hours, including clearing up.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Advice

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
