Need bath resealing in Stenton?

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

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

How we handle bath resealing in Stenton

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours. We are often asked to fix stained silicone and mould you can’t clean out, across baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your EH42 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stenton

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

FAQs for Stenton

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you come to Stenton?

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

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hidden water damage

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

Materials we work on in Stenton

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

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

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

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a couple of hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
