Bath resealing near Temple Balsall

How we handle bath resealing in Temple Balsall

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about sealant that’s split or lifting and gaps by the taps.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Temple Balsall and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Temple Balsall

For anyone letting property in or around Temple Balsall, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Temple Balsall as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

What affects the price in Temple Balsall

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs

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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Work done at your home or business

See our pricing.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, 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, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Common questions in Temple Balsall

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Are there extra charges for Temple Balsall?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How the visit 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 clear up. Plan for a couple of hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
