Bath resealing for Tetford homes

Bath resealing at your home in Tetford

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We’re often asked to fix leaks at the edges and unsealed corners, in wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How we price bath resealing

We don’t charge extra for travel to Tetford. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A flexing bath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Tetford

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What we’re called out for in Tetford

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Look out for these signs:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the colour is matched
  • What preparation is included

FAQs for Tetford

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

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

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Related advice

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
