Bath resealing for Stoke Canon homes

Stoke Canon questions

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Stoke Canon?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Bath resealing in Stoke Canon without replacing anything

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We work on basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are an untidy old seal and leaks at the edges.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

When we would advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Hidden water damage

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stoke Canon use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.

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

What bath resealing costs

We charge the same across the UK, including Stoke Canon. What changes the price is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your EX5 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
