How we handle bath resealing in The Grange

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. If you are dealing with unsealed corners and old sealant that looks dirty, we can help, on basins & vanity units, baths and wet rooms alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months in The Grange and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What bath resealing costs

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in The Grange, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

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.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Air the room after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Resealing in The Grange: why it matters

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why The Grange clients choose us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • A fixed quote before you book

Do you need bath resealing in The Grange?

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Damp near the bath
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

10 questions to ask before you book

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can

Common questions in The Grange

How long does silicone take to cure?

You’ll get the curing time from us, typically around a day.

Is my repair covered?

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

How long will it take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

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

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
