About our bath resealing in Stalisfield

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include stained silicone and gaps in the seal, on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

FAQs for Stalisfield

Is my repair covered?

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

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Are you accredited?

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

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

If you manage property in Stalisfield, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Open a window after bathing

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

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

How we price bath resealing

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work

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.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Why reseal now?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
