Need bath resealing in Tilsworth?

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

About our bath resealing in Tilsworth

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Common call-outs are for missing sealant behind the taps and damp near the bath, in basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Honest limits

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

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Resealing in Tilsworth: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Take a look at our prices page.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material

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. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Different materials, different repairs

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, once the joint is completely dry.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Your questions about bath resealing in Tilsworth

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

How long does silicone take to cure?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
