Bath resealing for St Nicholas at Wade homes

How we price bath resealing

We don’t charge extra for travel to St Nicholas at Wade. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Common questions in St Nicholas at Wade

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

Do you cover St Nicholas at Wade?

We do. Technicians travel to St Nicholas at Wade from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Is my repair covered?

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

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hidden water damage

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

What we work on

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

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Let steam out after showers

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

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

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to around two hours.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any 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. 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
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
