Bath resealing for Stretton en le Field homes

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

Bath resealing in Stretton en le Field, done in place

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are black mould in the sealant and an untidy old seal.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What we cannot put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hidden water damage

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we are called out for in Stretton en le Field

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Damp near the bath
  • Stained silicone
  • Unsealed corners

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • When it can be used again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How to look after the finish

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Stretton en le Field

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match

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.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DE12 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

FAQs for Stretton en le Field

Will there be a smell?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

How long does resealing take?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Stretton en le Field included. Travel is included in the price.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Landlord and trade work in Stretton en le Field

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
