Bath resealing for Steven's Crouch homes

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 typically takes a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

About our bath resealing in Steven's Crouch

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are a messy previous reseal and old sealant that looks dirty.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

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

What bath resealing costs

We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.

How to get a fixed price

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material

Most customers in Steven's Crouch get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Common problems we fix in Steven's Crouch

Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • A messy previous reseal

Steven's Crouch: your questions answered

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Are there extra charges for Steven's Crouch?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Hidden water damage

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
