Trusted bath resealing in Streat

How we handle bath resealing in Streat

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s gaps in the seal and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can help.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Streat as everywhere else we work.

Questions from Streat

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

How long does resealing take?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is my repair covered?

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

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

What do you need from me?

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

Do you come to Streat?

We do. We send a technician to Streat for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can new silicone go over old?

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

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for around two hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can

How to compare quotes

What a repair can’t fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

How to look after the repair

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

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Use the extractor fan

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Streat

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Streat as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Prices and what affects them

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
