Bath resealing in Tidnor

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Air the room after use

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Bath resealing in Tidnor, done in place

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, plus curing time. Common call-outs are for leaks at the edges and gaps in the seal, on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and baths.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Why reseal now?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. 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’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No need to remove anything

Tidnor questions

How much does bath resealing cost in Tidnor?

We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your HR1 postcode.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you work in Tidnor?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Tidnor. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Common problems we fix in Tidnor

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What preparation is included

Choosing a repair company

When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. 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.

Repairs by material

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a couple of hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
